I am sure he was looking down at that Super Hornet with a big smile on his face. F100 and F105 drivers had a hard row to hoe in Vietnam. Bless him for his service.

Blue Angels. Very cool.

When I was very young, my family lived at the end of a NAS runway in Washington. The Blue Angels would come every year and we got to watch their practice sessions from the back porch. I have loved them ever since.

And write off the overdue subs
So let’s drink to their memories
Our heroes and our pals
To those crazy navy flyers
To those swell Hawaiian gals”

That was one hot scene!

I love airshows. I jumped in Germany at a few - I had the first “square” canopy that many had seen. Good times.

Near 30 years ago, I was going to an air show at Moffett Field. I was as stuck in traffic on Highway 101 right at the end of the runway when exactly that happened! Three of us guys in an Integra that had an open sunroof, staring straight up into those twin exhaust pipes (I’m guessing) in full afterburner! Car was shaking like crazy! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!

At some point during the take off/flying process, you will only be a minuscule distance from the ground. There is no way around it!

Best display of wing-tip vortices I've ever seen.

Thanks for that. I was thinking it was engine thrust.
