The Thunderbirds have throughout the years referred to #2 as DEUCE on the radio for various litanies, most commonly preflight and postflight checks. After #2 completes his litany, you'd hear the next pilot in the formation acknowledge it by GOT IT DEUCE.

It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, changes (as "Deuce" is slated to fly the #6 jet).

Steph,

She is the one Sticky introduced us to in life support right? If so...I will never forget her reaction to when Sticky introduced her to you.

In the hangar, Blaze looks nice and cute but once the video switches to her stepping down from the jet she looks like she's had the life drained out of her. :lol:

In Duece's video, I keep replaying 0:23.
