Incredible!! Beyond a doubt the Blue Angels are absolutely THE best precision flying team in the world!!!

 

Seen their performance several times and am never bored!! Watching this time made me think about flying upside down and resisting the urge to pull up instead of down...

Piper Cub shots were great.. OF course I like fast to.

I remember as a kid helping my dad redo a Piper for the Cival Air Patrol.

We stripped the plane, put on new cloth and then commenced to slapping the dope on. (that was high times as a kid) If my memory serves me the stuff was called Buterate Dope or something like that... Actually did those wings here at the house in the same garage that now houses the TD.

 

Ok, enough of the childhood memories.

Lucky you. Wonderful trip I'm a CFII and get to fly alot, I'm looking for a plane to rebuild and get back in the air. If you hear about one let me know. Wonderful pictures I seen a lot of the same area and this is a beautiful wonderful country we have. Happy landings.

EVERYBODY SING!!!!

 

 

 

 

Stand Navy out to sea, Fight our battle cry;

We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.

Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh.

Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

 

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.

Farwell to foreign shores, We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.

Through our last night ashore, Drink to the foam,

Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

 

Blue of the mighty deep: Gold of God's great sun.

Let these our colors be Till all of time be done, done, done, done.

On seven seas we learn Navy's stern call:

Faith, courage, service true, With honor, over honor, over all.

[Cougar]

Thanks for sharing that.
