Sharon, it doesn't get much better than the Blue Angels! Glad you get to have them back after 20 years.
Mary: I'm not looking forward to the traffic problems it will create...but it is exciting that they are back.
Sharon

I love air shows and have seen the Blue Angels many times, it is quite the show, be sure to remember your ear plugs...
Lou: Yes, they do!
Patricia: Have fun! My husband is going with my two daughters, but I will be going to a family cookout instead.
Gerry: Ear plugs is a great suggestion. They are pretty loud!
Hi Sharon. I can just imagine what a mega-event that will be! I've seen the USAF Thunderbirds several times and it's riveting!
Leslie: It's been pretty cool around here already...since Wednesday they have been flying around and practicing. It's been crazy...they fly right over my neighborhood...the airport is just a few minutes from my house.
Sharon- My husband (former fighter pilot) and I love the air shows. We used to go to the ones held down in Ft Lauderdale. We'd take the boat out and anchor and watch as they flew overhead. Hope they have a glorious time!
Kathy: I can hear them flying around as I write this...I'm sure it will be an awesome show. I was just out running errands and I passed over the highway...traffic is backed up as far as the eye can see...holy cow!
Hi Sharon I was just driving home from Maine and could see all the traffic lined up on the bridges ready to catch a glimpse:)
Bill: It has been crazy here today and I'm sure tomorrow too. I didn't go to the show, but I watched from a perfect location and saw my own personal viewing. I even got a few pictures that aren't too bad.
