The Blue Angels have been practicing over my neighborhood for the last two days and it has been incredible. The sight, the sound, the skill ...just awesome! All the neighbors have had their eyes glued to the skies and it's been wonderful to the see the reaction of all the kids. Really makes you proud to be an American!
We considered going but decided that we just didn't want to deal with the crowd in the city today. Besides, we had them buzzing the neighborhood all afternoon during the show and the view was just fine from my front yard. Go Navy!
I love this video of them. Watch in full screen if you can [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6tB8Lf7YoU&feature=related[/ame]
Their shows ended at 4:00 PM so they were finished and on the ground by dinner time. They left town today but the show they put on yesterday was spectacular!
That reminds me of when the Blue Angels were over my rooftop. I lived in Orlando, a few miles east of Sea World. The Blue Angels were doing an air show for Sea World. Their approach to Sea World was from the east, over a cow pasture and the housing development where I lived. Each of their Sea World flyovers began over my development. They seemed to be not more than a hundred feet over my rooftop. Very exciting.
