I'll never forget being a wee lad..in the middle of Charleston Harbor on a boat, and watching the Blue Angels flying F4s(!).
A6s used to "strafe" us on the beach all the time, we would wave and they would give us a little wing wag.
I also got to see the Angels many years later in Upstate NY..spectacular show.
Whenever we were playing on the beach and a guided missile cruiser would steam out of the Naval Base under full power, we kids knew the "big wave" was coming, and everyone would run into the water to body surf the monster Kona wake wave!
