Blue Angels

I can hear the Blue Angels warming up for Sea-Fair outside. Always
incredible the BOEING F-18s are here 8/1-2 then its Salinas, Fargo, ND
and Offutt AFB, Neb. for rest of August. They will be at the Reno Air
Races 9/19-20. If you've never seen them check out the schedule on
their web site. They tour thru November then back to Pensacola NAS.

The Blue Angels are an obscene and disgusting waste of aviation fuel.
It reminds me of troops goose-stepping alongside ballistic missiles
in Red Square. Don't we have better things to do with our tax dollars
than put on displays of testosterone fueled stupidity ?

Details, details, details. Tell you what, take two aspirin and call
the Doc if that bug doesn't pass by morning. B;-0)

Why don't you have a soldier, a sailor, a marine and an airman
go around the country flashing lots of bling and big guns while
blasting rap music from a big boom box. It's the same message,
"We big, we bad", delivered at the same intellectual level but
for far less tax dollars.

What *is* the point of a bunch of jet jockeys doing stupid pet
tricks with multi-million dollar hardware that's the property
of the American people ?

The Air Force's Thunderbirds never looked better bouncing off clouds, than
when I was trippin' on acid at Langely Field, Va in the mid-70s.

We'll have the Thunderbirds here in Hillsboro in a couple weeks.
[Un]fortunately I live 1/2 mile from the airport.
