The Pix That Wasn't
Sorry, Redneck. That's about the only picture of a Blue Angel I could get with a point and click Sony, no proper zoom lens, and a spastic shutter finger. I have some excellent pix of clear blue skies, however, once the planes had flown by. Nary a cloud. Perhaps I'll make a jigsaw puzzle out of one. I can't lead a 400 mile per hour plane for shit. Hell, I can't even lead a bird with a shotgun. When I hunt I'm so far behind I'm lucky if I hit the next season's ducks.
Anyway, the Boys kicked ass, as usual.
Yeah, they are there..then they aren't...THEN you hear them....I always loved that. Grew up near the air base as a kid...hope y'all had lots of fun!

First Air Show I've been to, believe it or not. Amazing. My wife voiced the same thought I had when the F-18s came in low and fast: "I'm sure glad I'm not an enemy of our country." True.
