The Navy Blue Angels are doing practice runs right over my office.

There is an air show tomorrow at the Naval Air Station here in Marietta, GA, which is only a few miles from my office. And I have been getting a preview of the show. They are totally breathtaking. Makes you want to be up there with them.

1. I always wanted to be a pilot

but I get sick just being on a swingset!

2. I was taking flying lessons for a while.

But ran out of money and never did get my license. I love flying. And flying in one of those planes would be the ultimate thrill.

3. They are incredible.

It's just amazing to me that they can fly in formation seemingly inches apart without hitting each other is incredible enough, but to do it through barrel rolls and loops, etc is mind-boggling.

4. I know. I have been seeing all that today.

Awesome!!

5. The A-10 Demonstration Teams are even more fun

There are two--the West Coast A-10 team and the East Coast A-10 team. They do the same kind of show as the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels, but an A-10 flies lower and slower than a fighter and is more maneuverable than either an F-16 or an F/A-18.
