THE BLUE ANGELS
Sounds like the title of a porn movie?
They actually are the finest amongst the air demonstration teams whose mission it is to enhance the US Navy and Marine Corps recruiting efforts. And enhance they certainly did!! I bet the recruiting offices had to fight off hordes of people wanting to join the Navy and Marine Corps after they had experienced one of the shows put on by this team!! Just imagine being a part of the legendary flying team that has millions of followers? Stuff that dreams are made of!! Boy, I bet the pilots who belong to this team walk 16 feet tall what with all the admiration and adulation they so richly deserve and get.
They single handedly wiped out all the horrors of a cold rainy morning without protective rain gear. They held an audience of thousands spellbound and that is putting it mildly. Some of the maneuvers they exhibited elicited collective oohs and aahs as well as exclamations of horror when it seemed like their sole mission in life was to annihilate each other by flying at each other at breakneck speeds and close-knit formations.
The other lean, mean, flying machine that drew crowds like a magnet was the Stealth Bomber. By no stretch of imagination could you call it a plane. It is this sleek, black, elongated piece of metal, all angles and planes without a single airplane-like feature. I could not figure out if the pilot could even see out of the thing. And in the sky………….. It personifies nothing less than sheer poetry in motion.
Adding to the oomph factor of the air show at Miramar was the little red biplane flown by Sean Tucker. He just threw the plane all over the sky in every contortion and angle that a demented mind on psychedelic drugs could come up with, and the little plane bravely came through it all.
A wonderful experience that was the Miramar Air Show 2006. Fly on Blue Angels……….
