Air Show
We have an "air show" every day. We are in the flight path for the Naval
Air Station so planes all the time. The Blue Angels come to our base every other year. This year only military pass people were allowed on to the base since the war was either going on or getting started. THe neat thing is that the Angels fly over the bays and you can sit on the water edge and get a great view. The down side is being where we are three days of Angels overhead drives you up a wall. We left for one day just to get away from the noise. Susan "Rachel T." wrote in message ... The annual air show is back this weekend. Since this is the 100th anniversary of flight, and this being Dayton, this year's show is a biggie. John Travolta is in town flying his own jet, the Thunderbirds, Blue Angles, AND the Canadian Snowbirds are here too. A rare occasion for all three to be in one place at the same time. Usually, it's beyond hot for the show weekend. And I mean hot. And usually to see the show, you pay out the nose (it isn't actually that bad), stand in a field at the airport, and squint to see what's going on. This year is different. It's not hot, and being so close to the airport, we can just stand outside and watch the planes go over when they turn around. Yesterday, the Angles came in, and I guess they decided to practice a bit. I tell ya, It was pretty cool to watch. Being that the town is uphill from the airport, the planes are closer that if you were watching at the show. And are they *loud* !! Standing in the driveway, #2 Angel flys over, and I swear, if I had been on the roof, I could have skook hands with the pilot. He was low enough to see if he were to wave. Then 4 of them flew over in formation. Pretty cool. I'm waiting on the others to fly over. Maybe they won't come out this far. shrug I dunno, I thought it was pretty cool. For a long time I wanted to be a Navy pilot and fly those big jets. Rachel T. Damn right I'm good in bed. I can sleep for days. |
