Blue Angels

They are here in the bay (San Fransisco Bay Area), and they been practicing since Tuesday when I think they came in from Florida. On Saterday the ships will come in (2 or 3 Destroyers, a ACC, and a hovercraft (thats what they are called right, the things with big propellers on the raft thing). The BA fly everywhere though, like under the Golden Gate Bridge, right over Peir 39. And all their stunts are awsome, I mean they fly inches apart and go flying at each other playing chicken and barely missing each oher by inches. They are the best.

I might go this weekend and watch (because I'm in the mountains), if I do I'll show yall some pictures.

And if you dont know what the hell I'm talking about, they are a bunch of jocks flyin blue Hornets in teh military.

Really these guys are the best in the buisness and they are in the navy, its like sweet, lemme have a ride!

Have you seen/ heard them?

Its cool up until they fly over your house 400 times a day, and even at 9:34, EVEN AS I POST THIS. Damn planes go away!

I wouldn't.

1. They don't carry weapons
2. They don't go to combat

2 simple reasons why you shouldn't ph34r them

Do I want fries with my foot? sure!

Incompetent · 2003-10-10, 12:15 PM

I've seen them in person a few times, elite does not begin to descibe them.

Squeeky · 2003-10-10, 12:19 PM

Don't worry about it. THey actually travel the country doing performances 9 out of 12 months. They also travel witha huge crew. They also have a C-130 Hercules called "Fat Albert" that does a short J.A.T.O. (Jet Assisted Takeoff) demonstration with JATO Rockets where it lights up about a dozen rockets on the rear of the plane, goes full tilt, and then levels out. Lemme find some pics.....

There we go, now more pics.

I think I'll stick to training to be in the special ops/armored division... :
