Blue Angels

I've caught the Blue Angels practice sessions two different years at NAS Pensacola and at the last one, Naval Aviation Museum volunteers would field questions from the crowd watching as well as provide some commentary on what the Blues were doing. One woman asked "When will Fat Albert be practicing today?" The elderly volunteer responded "Fat Albert's flown by Marines, ma'am. Marines don't need to practice." From the back of the crowd booms a lone voice "OOORAHH!"
