Blue Angels

[jaxadam]

Well, apparently the Blue Angels decided to have practice right above my office today for the upcoming Air Show this weekend. It is pretty wild. And loud. Okay, I'm gonna go back outside and take some more pictures. As soon as I find the damn camera cable I'll post them.

Quite a sight isn't it. Their home base is Pensacola, FL so I get to see them rehearse every Wednesday. A lot of the routine puts their manuever setups right over my house.

OMG that is SO SWEET. I used to want to be a Blue Angel when I was a little kid. I want pics!

 

[jaxadam]

I can't find the cable..........

It is really cool, they are doing some pass-by's, smoke trails, etc. I think they are having a lot of fun because we have a very high ceiling and visibility today. I think they're done, though, because it's awfully quiet, now.

do you have webcam? take an up-close webcam pic of your screen on your camera.... I know thats far reaching, but I LOVE THE BLUE ANGELS!!!! Gives me goose-bumps every time I see them...

Here's one you won't see in the Navy promo pack.....

Yes it really is them...

1) That the Blue Angels are in the pic
2) That "Kiss" is in the pic
3) Who can resist a man in uniform? YEEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWW

Okay, here goes nothing, I got some...

Hey, how do you post pics like that Couch?

They're hosted on another website.

Attempt #1...

 

[jaxadam]

Well, all I know how to do right now it post one picture as an attachment. If anyone else has any ideas as to how to post more pictures, let me know. They are approx 80k a piece.

They're great - I've seen them every year they've come to MacDill AFB- I love air shows. Here in the Tampa Bay area they have an Air Fest at the local Air Force base, I guess they probably have them around the country, It's really cool, a 2 day airshow along with planes on the ground to climb into and look at. Make me wish I'd been a pilot like my uncle (he flew B-52 bombers during the cold war era) scary . . .

It's not surprising guitar players & shredders would like fast planes.

Good Lord. Apparently earlier was warm-up, because they are pulling out some craziness now!

Any idea how to post multiple pics?

 

[Beth]

[Sigmunds Couch]
