We love it heree when NAS Norfolk has it's aairshow in the Spring and Oceana has it's in the Fall...we get to go to the show but we also get 2-3 days of Blue Angels practice flights right over our backyards.
I was stationed at Edwards AFB in the 80s. Test Pilot School. Test Aircraft Programs. NASA facility. Used to sit on the roof of my barracks, drinking a beer and watching the Space Shuttle land. Those were the days...
