Upcoming Air Show

[Gay State Conservative]

Spent some time yesterday at my sister's place which is located about a mile from an Air Force Base.The Blue Angels,the Snowbirds (Canadian precision flight team) and at least one Canadian F-18 are scheduled to appear there this weekend.Yesterday they were practicing and it was amazing.A tight formation of four Navy F-18s buzzed my sister's house...couldn't have been more than 500 feet above.The Snowbirds were really cool as well.Looking forward to attending the show tomorrow..but the forcast isn't all that great.

They’ll be performing at the Yankee Air Museum show in Michigan this August.

If what I saw yesterday is any indication of what they're about I'd strongly encourage you to attend!

Hub was an AF fighter pilot. Came home one day from base Saw these guys do what they’d been doing the whole day 500 feet above the back yard prepping for the next day’s air show

He said, ‘those navy guys really hang it out don’t they?’

Buzzing is not quite the word

BTW I’m talking about the Blue Angels but they’re just the American version.

Just keep track of them or bring extra underwear. There are 6 of them. Never lose count...if you see only five, get ready for a heart stopping surprise. That 6th one is coming up behind you, low, fast and LOUD! If you’ve never seen 20,000 people duck in unison, you will! What a thrill.

We saw them do that several years ago in Duluth, MN. Excellent show. They had to stop a little early due to the ceiling coming in to low, but still an awesome show and well worth going to.

We are looking forward to seeing the Thunderbirds (Air Force) in August at Ellsworth AFB.

I'm a former Zoomie, and even though the Thunderbirds put on a heck of a show, I've always thought the Navy's Blue Angels were superior to them.

We have every year for the last 4 to Blue Angel weekend in Pensacola and stay at Margaritaville Resort. Center point is about 200 yards offshore from the hotel. It is wicked awesome.

Love it when the Angels come to Seattle every year!

What’s really impressive about the snowbirds is that it’s all manual flying, there are no computers doing anything.

I really enjoy the blue angels too. The F-18 is a beautiful plane.

I saw the Blue Angels practicing around 4:00 on the Pike by exit 6 in Chicopee. Quite a sight!

[Dartman]

Quite frankly, I find the Snowbirds a little embarrassing, I mean those planes are ancient. How about this for an idea? We pick the best of the CF-18’s and give them to the Snowbirds. Then we buy new Super Hornets for the folks at Bagotville and Cold Lake. Forget the F-35 Edsel.
