I am home today working out in the yard. I live near Indianapolis Regional Airport where a large air show, featuring the Blue Angels, will start tomorrow. I am being treated to my own little free air show with all the aircraft coming in for the event. Very cool.
Never saw the Blue Angels but I lived for a year in Jacksonville, FL and had to drive out past the Naval Air Station alot ....never got old watching the jets flying around.
Ran into an old classmate of mine several months ago...we struck up a lively conversation about the old days...when I asked him what he'd been doin' all these years, he said, "Flyin' around in jets!"...turns out he's retired Air Force Pilot, been zippin' around in F-15s and the like, tossin' missiles at bad guys and stuff...I said, "Man, you're my hero and got my job!"....
Hoping to see them over here (Annapolis) on the 25th. Gonna take the family on the boat and watch the show from the Severn River. Looking forward to it!
