Me and a friend were out ice fishing one year, back in the 80’s and we got buzzed by a low flying airforce jet- they were doing low maneuvering over the mountain range, and we were kinda obscured by the mountains, and the jet flew right over where we were standing. Talk about awesome!

Nice finish as the whining Diva lost to both current and former teammates (Leclerc and Russel).

"Nice finish as the whining Diva lost to both current and former teammates (Leclerc and Russel). "

How about his "replacement" Kimi Antonelli finishing 4th in his first GP?...and in the wet to boot! Outscored him 12-1!

Thanks for the race thread.

Wow the race was tremendously edgy from start to finish with a few moments of boredom.

Glad it was not red-flagged.

If only Haas had kept their wet tires on they may have done a lot better...

suggestion, go full screen and maximum volume.

Former Zoomie, and should prefer the Thunderbirds over the Blue Angels. But the Blue Angels have always been my favorite.

KWEL !!! I wonder if Y'All got strafed ? Ya' get jet-blasted ? If You had Comms You might have been able to get a few more passes to melt the ice and warm up a spot for a quick Hot Tub 😜

🐟🎣 A blonde decided to try Ice Fishing. So one day she gathered all your typical equipment so she can get in on the action. She gathers all the Ice Fishing gear: Ice Axe, Skimming Ladel, Short Rod & Reel, assorted other equipment and makes some Little Tea Party Finger Sandwiches and snags a few Wine Coolers and other stuff. When she has arrived at the lake She chops a hole in the ice, skims it and drops Her line.

After a while she says to herself "why am I not getting any fish?"

From above her a loud, booming voice says.

There are no fish under the ice. She looks around and sees nobody. So she goes back to fishing.

And after a while she again says "Where are the fish ?"

Again the big booming voice from above, "There are no fish under the ice"

So this time She looks around a little better and then she looks up. "God is that you ?

"No it's the Rink Manager and there are no fish under the ice !"🎣🎏

Didn’t feel any jet blast, not quite low enough I guess. But low enough to be a real rush- back in the day they cou,d get away with stuff like that- sonic booms too- I can still remember when the lawsuits came out to stop sonic booms because it “was detrimental to pregnant women and to whales” (and they claimed it scared wildlife) lol. I remembered thinking then that ther3 was no way they would win because of how asnine the claims were, but lo and behold they did.

Thank You for Your Service.🇺🇸🙏

Have seen both MAN Times.

I first saw the Blue Angels. I was in Farragut State Park, Idaho for the National Boy Scout Jamboree in 1973. I saw the Blue Angels for the first time and I was HOOKED !! I was already into Aviation since Dad worked for AA. He was in sales and had actually sold the Charters for transportation to both the West and East locations. There was a choice of Charter Flights of 4 707’s going to the West and East Jamborees and then ride a Charter Bus 4 of them just from the Houston area Scouts. We had the option of Bus and Camp Our Way to location for 2 weeksr at various locations like Grand Canyon National Park then on to SLC and Camp in the BYU Gymnasium and a couple other places. We had a choice of Fly/Ride or Ride/Fly. And I digress into blabbering on and on. So I will shut up🤠

I saw the Thunderbirds for the first (may have been at BAFB, Bergstrom Air Force Base which is now the Austin, TX Intergalactic Airport.) that but I don’t remember where for sure.

There was one time at Randolph AFB in Universal City, TX and was at My Girlfriend's house and She was working Nightshift (Nurse) so Sunday morning She got Home and went to sleep. We were already planning on going to the Airshow later on that day and took a nap. Just before the alarm went off We were awakened with a low pass by a jet that was HAULING A$$!!! The house is right in line with the Approach path and normally just T-6 Trainer traffic, the occasional C-130 and rarely any jets. When that jet went over it was outbound and had to have been right at or going into Burner ! We both sat bolt up in bed !!! She had a bewildered look on Her face and My response was "AIRSHOW !!!" just then the alarm went off. 🤠 I probably should have checked out the roof for shingles that were blown off by the "Alarmpass".

So when We get to the Base I don't tell Her anything about the Thunderbird Show details. It was HER 1st Sneak Pass (aside from the Wake Up Pass.) She was retired Army...

I would love to score a ride with either of them !!! I might puke in the Mask but I think I'll try anyway.🤢
