Blue Angels San Francisco - engine swap 10/8/15
« on: October 09, 2015, 08:12:50 PM »
I was wondering why the Blues aborted (and later resumed) their practice yesterday and found some interesting chatter at Oakland from the Blue Angels. Starting about 3m30s into this archive they talk about an engine problem and one of the pilots needing to swap jets:

There's also talk from the emergency services about a "Yellow Alert".

18m15s into the clip someone asks about an airplane flying down the flightline, although I didn't hear an answer. I was wondering what that plane was doing...

Interesting day at Fleet Week!
