One of the advantages of military life was being able to see many air shows and stirring Fourth of July presentations.

Have seen the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds - -
the latter shown here - -

After this trip, this might become an annual event for us.

I was so amazed at how close together those jets were! One of the guys near us who was so nice said that the Blue Angels fly as close together as physics allows (air streams and all that). Whew! And I never knew until last week that the Blue Angel pilots are all active duty. I, for some unknown reason, thought they were not active duty. That must be a fun tour for those pilots.

I met the Blue Angels Pilots in Savannah many years ago. Got some VIP passes for my son - Matthew was thrilled to meet those guys.
