Default Not Cars, but I'm sure ya'll will still like it

This was the Blue Angels 2nd practice since the Crash. Kinda sucks without #6 there. Some of the coolest maneuvers were done by him. By the way, I work at the control tower at NAS Pensacola. I've got the best seat in the house to all their practices









My ears hurt at this part!

No, they don't touch, but they get realllllly close... some of the manuvers in diamond formation get withing a couple feet of eachother. Best of the best


Amazing pics btw. I do volunteer photos for the Reno Air Races, and working on my pilot license... so I love this stuff.

They are something else. Those dudes are not just extremely skilled, but TOTALLY fearless as well!

I always liked that style fighter and built several scale models of them as a kid.

I seen the vid of the one that crashed about 2 weeks ago was crazy. It got over shadowed cause of the VT shooting.

I was stationed at Corry Station and stood the gate for a while. The exchange gate going off Corry was pretty good because they would come down the old air field and point it straight up right about the gate. It was great.

We have them coming over here to Seymour Johnson AFB next week. Hope to get some decent pictures like those as well, but I'll be on the ground (I'm base ops and we aren't connected to the tower). Those things have to be a rush to fly. I got an incentive ride in a mock up British Provost jet (not even half the power) and I was having a blast last year!
