March 18, 2015     Breathtaking!  Simply Breathtaking!  We’re coming back!

This was ONLY a practice.  The Blue Angels came in to Pensacola this week and are only based here for a few months.   While here they practice on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  Spectators are invited and on Wednesdays,  after practice,  the Blue Angel Pilots do an autograph session in the museum.

There were over 10,000 spectators today.  There was plenty of ooohhhing and aaahhhing going on.   I took some photos,  but most of my time was spent oooohhhing and aaahhhing!    Some of the maneuvers are so spectacular,  that it is hard to believe your eyes.    There are times that their wings are 18 inches apart.  I found it thrilling!

David told me that he took seeing them off his bucket list.  I said “I didn’t know they were on it”.  He said they weren’t until today,  but he was so glad he saw them that he put them on and took them off.  I’m taking that as his way of saying how much he enjoyed seeing the demonstration 🙂
