The Blue Angels

Sorry I have been MIA lately. I didn't have a chance until now to post about my fun weekend! Well, I didn't really have a fun weekend but I did have a very fun Friday afternoon. This past weekend Naval Air Station Brunswick held the Great State of Maine Air Show 2008. The air show included many acts (click here to view all). The two I was most interested in seeing were the US Army Golden Knights parachute team and The Blue Angels.

I missed the Golden Knights but I did get to see The Blue Angels. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. If they ever come near your home, I would recommend you go see them perform. I am not even interested in plane at all and I loved it!

Below are pictures I took of their show. The pics do not even do them justice. All I kept saying out loud the whole performance was that they must be crazy! Anyone who would willing fly 18 inches apart from 3 other Boeing F/A-18 Hornets (with perfect precision) must be a little crazy and very brave.


Friday was a great day! Saturday and Sunday, well, not so much. Because I work for the Navy I was 'asked' to help out with one of the concession stands. And I can say after two very long days, if I ever see another french fry again it will be too soon!
