    I've seen the Blue Angels countless times in Seattle during Seafair. The absolute peak experience I had in 1988 was standing on the sun lounge of my Scarab kinda out away from the pack of boats; one Blue Angel comes screaming down the lake just above the water - I mean VERY VERY LOW. Pilot makes a ridiculously tight turn just over my boat, the wing tip is directly over my boat, dripping water off wing onto sun pad and my bald head; I can clearly see pilot looking down at me. The roar was totally deafening shaking the boat and all the water around it. My wife bolts out of the cabin with my two young boys who are crying their heads off - I'm grinning like I've died and gone to heaven. Coolest thing ever!

    This'll be my third Blue Angels show. I've probably seen the Thunderbirds 100 times, as I was stationed at Nellis AFB for two years in the 80's. As a matter of fact my Unit (414th 57 AGS, Phantom F-4E's) flew the missing man formation at their funeral .

    As I've said before , When that first F-16 in Thunderbird colors landed, and rolled down the flight line, everyone quit working and walked out to the edge and started clapping....not a dry eye in the house !


    Here's a neat front page pic/banner and story in today's paper..I'm going to buy a copy.

    I like the Blue Angels, even have a DVD that bought at Oshkosh in 98. Thunderbirds website says:
    NELLIS AFB, Nev. — In response to sequestration actions, the Air Force and Air Combat Command officials have canceled aerial demonstration team performances to include the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds past April 1.
    They are grounded after the first of April.

    Hi Ho's! Should be a good thread. I usually go to two airshows, local one and Oshkosh. The latter its been a few years. Got Cayenne pictures but can't find my cord to connect the camera onto the computer.

    Still can't find the cord. Think I'll go to Staples and buy a new one.

    Had a pool/spa guy advertising on craigslist. He fixed my hot tub. Filling up now and should be usable tomorrow morning. Hot tub is the favorite thing about my house, love using it.

    Its been nice a sunny the last two days. Maybe spring is here. Would bike but mine was stolen and haven't replaced it. Took some pictures of the Cayenne but the files are big and won't post. Have to find an resize program that works with Win 8.
