Here is a link to a story about Ship Week in San Fransisco and I have just learned that the USN Blue Angels are going to fly but some jerk is trying to get them Banned from the Event. So who knows whats going to happen. http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,150633,00.html?ESRC=dod-b.nl

Blue Angeles won't fly at Mirama Airshow during Fleet Week in San Diego. They will fly over Hawaii. Instead, Thunderbird will fly at Mirama. I wonder if Blue Angeles ever fly with Thunderbird at the same show.

I don't think the Air force Air jocks would get along with the Marine Air Jocks... it could be lots of and so lets hope it goes well.

I distinctly remember seeing the Blue Angels twice. We used to have an NAS here in Grand Prairie. Our Scout troop always came in to sell hot chocolate and coffee as they came in the late fall. I don't remember if I saw the Thunderbirds perform at Ft Worth or not...that one was sooooo long ago. In any case...if you have never seen it and the opportunity arises by all means GO !!!!
