It Was Hard to Concentrate Today

These guys are in town for an air show this weekend.
Practicing a few hours today, overhead, low and loud.  The sound of Awesome.  I could hear them through the walls at work and meetings were rough.  Went outside at lunch to watch what I could but they weren't close.  Didn't see very much.

It will be worse tomorrow.

    Melbourne?

    I live out towards Lake Washington. Seems to be the extreme turn around point.

    WoW!

    I haven't seen The Blues in years, since they closed the El Toro MCAS.

    I'm jealous!

    In 1966 I watched the Thunderbirds do a show flying the F-100 Super Sabre. I worked in a three story air defense blockhouse and I was up on the roof watching. Their flybys were even with the roof level and 100 feet from where I was standing. Much later I was stationed at Nellis and the Thunderbirds would run through their routine every Friday at noon over the flight line I could walk out the door and watch them every week. I have to admit I always feared for them. I knew a few of them back then. In 20 years in the Air Force I knew a lot of fighter pilots. Great guys, a little over confident when young and much more mellow when older (mid 30's).

    Had the damn Houston Grand Prix less than a mile from my bedroom window. Dawn to midnight every day for 10 days.

    Palm Bay is the other turnaround point! Loud! The sound of freedom!
