    The blue angels come to us every year for free....... benefit of living on one of the most important nas development bases.

    My dad knows some old blue angel he went to ocs down in pensecola with one guy.... or was it flight school? Those guys are the best of the best.

    Oh and cool story I played basketball with an angel once. On our base there's a drill hall with just about everything on it and last year an angel happened to be there and played basketball, really athletic guys of course.

    So vuk that was your first time seeing them? I always forget most people don't get to see things like that

    Oh, so they're like the Snowbirds, but instead fly aircraft that isn't hopelessly obselete.

    I see, I see. Cool stuff to watch, they'll ocassionally fly over during football games. I ain't a football fan, but it's a really big thing where I am.

    Similar for me, I've seen the Red Arrows a lot, due to living near a massive naval base.

    Sweet, good for you!
    Yeah, it was my first time. I had seen videos of them performing, but never in real life before. They don't come to Wisconsin a lot. :P

    I've seen the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds but it has been a while - probably mid-90's for the Blues. They are a heart-pounding, adrenadline-pumping thrill. Now I want to see them again.

    I was recently stationed in Pensacola for some training. If you enjoy naval aviation it's an excellent pilgrimage to make.

    I really respect the Blue Angels work ethic. They practice and perform constantly, and are top pilots. These days they're using f 18s.

    Yeah, those guys are like machines. I have never seen more perfect or spectacular flying in my life.

    Its so high stress and high danger and high workload they get ortated pretty regularly and get moved to something safer like combat pilots....
