Nice...glad to see military and city fire fighters coordinating in their practice and drills. There have been some horrific air show disasters over the years, something you hope will never happen again.

We used to go to the beach there - ah, the smell of hog farms! And I used to ride horses who were all deaf in the range of jet engines.

“the smell of hog farms!”

Near Virginia Beach?
I was there a couple of weeks ago; wouldn’t have dreamed any hog farms would have been around there in the (recent) past.

South-ish down the coast from Virginia Beach. In the late 70s and early 80s, it was all woods and hog farms from Princess Anne Court House over to NAS Oceana. There was even fox hunting. How we laughed when they built subdivisions on the old Malbon Brothers farm. (The smell lingers ...)

I haven’t been to Virginia Beach since my parents moved to DC, 1990-ish. After I was married (1989) because I remember addressing my wedding invitations in the house in Kempsville.

Who? The victims of crashes at air shows? What would that accomplish?
