An interesting hello

As the Spyder and I pulled into the yard this morning from Dialysis we received a special gift! The Blue Angles were doing their "Glad to be home" flight and mini-show! They gave us a big, noisy, turn over the house but were gone by the time I got into the house to grab a camera.

Since I am only about five miles from the strip we get to see most anything they do over a few hundred feet.

Yeah. They do all their training in El Centro, California during the winter. I was there one year for a month just before they left for the "airshow" season. They do a spectacular show. I have seen them quite a few times.

It's always a treat to watch the Angels or the Birds. We had the Blue Angels here in 2007 when the Thunderbirds were in Europe. Most other years we have the Thunderbirds. Different programs, different planes, each a delight to watch. Make for a special day, doesn't it?

I live a stones throw near Mayport Naval Air Station where the Angels practice before the shows. I get my backyard personal show every year. It's great and no traffic to contend with.:clap:
