We are going to the Air Show today to see the Blue Angels among other acts. DH has seen them before, but I haven't. He says the show is just awesome. His company buys so many tickets and gave him some.

His company also provides a huge white tent w/cooling fans, wine coolers, beer, water, pop and FOOD! I'm a little skiddish about getting overheated, so I'm going prepared, as it's already warm out.
But, I'm not going to miss out again. I couldn't go last yr b/c of the heat and leg probs!

Watch out for the low crossing path of the F-18....it will sneak up on the crowd and just amaze you.

Hornets are sneaky fast.

Have fun and please keep cool.

*trying to stop myself from making a barbeque sauce joke*



have a GOOD time, and enjoy the show, Princess.

mah daddah was AF, and planes were in his bloodstream..

we went regularly to the shows at Moffett Field, or Stockton... a fond childhood memory...

In the 70s, We lived very near Wright Patterson AFB and could see most of the air show from the top of the hill, in my back yard. It was sort of like living in NYC and not going to the top of the ES Building..LOL

Anyway, I had more than my fill of Air Shows.

The Blue Angels are Fabulous..

Enjoy, DM ( Wear Earplugs!)

I am going to respond to this before I read the rest of the thread...

I used to work at Moffett Field and regularly worked the "noise complaint" desk for the Blue Angels' air shows....I worked for Naval Weather Service at Moffett and I came within inches of getting a ride in the back seat of the PR plane (when they were flying A-4s). They didn't ask if I was military or civilian and, of course, I didn't volunteer. When I was getting geared up to go, the Master Chief politely (not) told the pilot "not on my watch" are you taking a civilian up in that plane. Rats...there went my chance to get a ride in an A-4.

BBQ sauce...I could have used some then. He was one of the Master Chief's I worked with so not much I could do about it...

I have seen them perform many, many times, have several autographed photos of them hanging in my office, and have flown civilian with a few of them. My husband flew with them but not as a Blue Angel. He has flown the F-18, it's a great airplane.

Don't scare them too badly, DM, those planes are expensive.

Have a great time, DM!

As soon as I told my DH you were seeing the Blue Angels he said he was Jealous, I knew he would be

We have been to The Reno Air Show a few different times. I was 18 when we were dating and the first time I saw an Air Show - they are awesome. The Blue Angels were at those shows.

dm...don't eat the pilots.
