Was a chick flying one of them?

"Ah, ah, Mr. Tracy, I don't know what could have gone wrong!"

Cant wait till they the are here at AFW next month. On my last shift I was sitting out on the ramp

watching some refuelers and without my radio. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, Blue Angels 1 3 4 & 5 make a low level fly by and buzz the tower

and then directly over me! Then they circled back into the pattern to land and refuel. A little later the others did the same.

Really nice suprise. We listened as they were talking of their flight plans back to Florida then they left.

Except number 2 who developed some sort of problem and stayed the night then left in the morning. >P>If you've ever been up close to the Angels or Thunderbirds you would wonder that things didn't fall off every time they go up!

They are patched up and touched up all over the fueselage!lol A whole lot of bumpin going on and they don't always get the newest planes if you know what I mean. Just the newest and brightest paint.

I got to see some of their practice session on Friday. I was having lunch with a prospective employer at the time.

We were standing outside a North Side coffee shop when they screamed over us.

I said "That's the sound of freedom gentlemen."
