I read the advertisement in the Union-Tribune for the annual Miramar Air Show Oct. 14, 15 and 16, and my jaw dropped in disbelief.
I just don't understand how the Blue Angels can justify fueling and flying these jets in their annual celebration given President Bush's plea to Americans to cut back on fuel usage.
Surely there is something better that can be done with our military manpower other than a boastful display of flying skills, like perhaps airlifting supplies and materials to aid the victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Am I missing something here? Perhaps the thunder that we'll feel and hear when the Blue Angels fly overhead will be the sounds of the gods crying.

It's good to know what keeps Sylvia Castelluzzo and her eleven cats up at night.

The Blue Angels are a major recruiting tool for the US Navy, just as the Thunderbirds are to the USAF and the Golden Knights are to the US Army. Get over it!

I think they should airdrop some heavy weaponry on the Superdome.

I used to do the 10K race on the base every year to get tickets to the FRIDAY arishow. Friday was 10,000 bodies while Saturday and Sunday where 200,000. Great show!

Yes, you're wasting precious energy resources with your innane partisan anti-american comments.

God thinks Hornets are cool.

Yep, humanitarian missions. They're not only good at it, that's what the military is really for. /clintonese

"...Surely there is something better that can be done with our military manpower..."
Sylvia, I agree. These planes should be strafing and bombing the crap out of places like Iran or the hiterlands of Pakistan where the hideouts are. Sort of an "air-show-them". Plus, they could fill up locally, where fuel should be cheaper, and save the cost of shipping.

Sylvia, you're missing quite a few things. Among them are common sense and the capacity for rational thought.

Geez, what a whining little whack-job busybody!
People like her are the reason God invented straitjackets and rubber rooms.

Fuel usage? Burn it if you got it Angels. I've never left one of their shows, or the Thunderbirds too for that matter, without goosebumps and a chill up my backbone, screaming "Hell yeah!" and damn happy those machines and pilots are on our side.
