166 – A Strong and Humble Blue Angels Pilot: Jim Cox
Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) James Cox, a member of the Navy’s Blue Angels Team, is our guest today on the podcast! He exceeded my expectations in so many ways in our conversation, and I’m thrilled to share this interview with you. You’ll definitely want to listen to this one!
Although the Blue Angels do a lot of traveling, Jim is also a dedicated family man, and we talked about how he stays connected with his wife and kids while serving with the Blue Angels. Jim said, “Communication is key.” That’s a good word for all of us, in all kinds of life situations!
Throughout our conversation, Jim was quick to say, “This is not about me. This is about the team, and I’m grateful to be a part of it. As a team, we have the great privilege and responsibility to serve and inspire people and communities all over the country with a message of teamwork, professionalism, and excellence, in order to motivate individuals to reach their greatest potential in life.” (My paraphrase.)
Here’s the team:
In our conversation, Jim said so many things worth remembering, and here are a few noteworthy quotes:
- “I always had an eye for the sky.”
- “I’m proof that hard work alone can get you anywhere.”
- “The flying is utterly amazing, but the community outreach portion of what we do is definitely the highlight.”
- “I couldn’t be where I am today without my mom and dad.”
- “The best thing you can absolutely do as a 16 year old in high school is to be the BEST 16 year old you can possibly be.”
- “You start with the end in mind, but the PROCESS is so important!”
- “The only way that we can fly the way we do is because of trust.”
- “Everything we do is predicated on safety. Safety is absolutely first and foremost number one in everything.”

Jim, I am absolutely grateful for the opportunity to speak with you. Thank you Sir, and your family, and the whole Blue Angels team, for representing our country so well. We appreciate you!
I hope to see you at one of the airshows in 2021!
