Big Daddy has a healthy obsession with jets and daydreams of traveling on his own one day. He frequently takes the boys to the local airport to watch the private jets come and go. So, when we heard that the Blue Angels were coming to town…we made absolute plans to be present for such a special treat. And what a treat it was…a brilliant blue, cloudless sky was the perfect backdrop for this demonstration of skill and power. I, of course, brought the toy and a lot of uncertainty about my abilities to capture the feelings we get when watching these guys show us their stuff. I worried for nothing…I got lots of wonderful shots. Dagon loves it too, as long as Daddy brings him ear protection!
We were treated to several different displays before the Angels went up. The Canadian equivalent of the Angels were stunning in their white and red jets against the blue sky.
We also enjoyed some high flying hijinks and massive displays of USA military power.
Then the excitement started to build as you saw an oversized hint of what was coming
and then heard the engines start up and within moments the Angels were flying!
The training and discipline that these pilots display make me so thankful that they belong to us and so proud to be an American! As always, I am in awe.
