Blue Angels are in town!!!

[Rev. Millertime]

The local airshow is this weekend, and I woke today to my windows rattling and the sound of a jet just outside my place.  Hell yeah, the Blue Angels are practicing, noisy as hell outside, and I love it.

Another bonus for the airshow this weekend, my friend (who just found out was assigned the B-1) is flying his T-6 up from Mississippi to display at the airshow.

I'm looking forward to the air & sea show coming back to Ft. Lauderdale next year

Close enough that when the sun is shining, they cast shadows on my yard/driveway at times!

My camera took a shit, otherwise I'd post pictures.  Just about everyone I have on Facebook that lives here in town is posting pictures.

These are some a friend took from her yard:
(They are just as close at my place.)

The Blue Angels are amazing. Top Gun all the way.

I saw them fly last year and I was not impressed. In the Navy's defense the show was not over water.  After the Angels flew...the F-22 came out, the I was REALLY disappointed in the Blue Angels.   Go Thunderbirds
!

Were you rockin' out to this in your head & playin' air guitar when they flew past?

It's possible that they just didn't do a very technical show when you saw them. As impressive as the Thunderbirds are, the shows that I've seen make the Thunderbirds look like they are standing still.

...and was the zing on the Navy really necessary?

Did someone say Thunderbirds?

a little thin skinned?

i saw the blue angels back in 2002, at the loveland/ft collins airport.
VERY cool show

[Triple J]

I've seen the Thunderbirds probably 20+ times (dad worked at Nellis AFB where they are based)...and seen the Angels maybe 3-4 times. They're both pretty awesome!  The Angels show always seemed a bit better to me, but probably because the F-18 is my favorite plane.

My dad calls the Thunderbirds the Thunderchickens...he was in the Navy though so he's biased. 

[Rev. Millertime]

This will be the third time they have been to Fargo since I've lived here, and they never cease to amaze me.

I have not had the opportunity to see the Thunderbirds, but would love to.

Sorry, no zing intended.  I've just seen pictures of them preforming over water and looks like they put on a better show.

I've had the honor of watching the Canadian Snowbirds, French Acrobatic Patrol, Italian Tricolour Arrows but none of them get me going like watching our boys fly!

As far as the Thunderbirds go...it's way past time to upgrade to the F-22.  ( I know, I know - budget fights)
The things that plane was pulling at the airshow in Spokane WA was simply amazing.

f-35 is more likely...
