DuD: Maybe you can answer this: Do the Blues have any consideration
for
separation distances from tall buildings when doing performances
around large
cities?
Thx,

It's funny you should ask this at this time Vlad; I don't have the
"official" skinny on it right now, and am myself in the process of
updating my own information as I'm writing this, but unless things have
changed around; it should be a QFE rounded off to the nearest 500 either
way and adjusted for apex gate at the top for the on site high show, and
it's the local altimeter setting for off site venues because of the MSL
problem with obstructions. I could be wrong on this however. It used to
work for the TB, but Mountain Home is being kicked around and things
might get a closer look by the powers that be before the dust settles
back in.
I actually have an "official" request into Nellis right now asking for
an update on this information as it affects the TB and haven't heard
back yet. Even the ex- TB pilots I talk to every day don't have an
inside to Nellis right now. Things are VERY tight as you can well
imagine.
To turn things around on you :-)) if YOU get any first hand info on this
issue in your travels, I'd appreciate you passing it on to me.
