Blue Angels Annapolis 2007

[Megabyte]

It's commencement week here in Annapolis for the United States Naval Academy.
The Blue Angels flew their "practice session" today in exceptionally good weather, to the delight of landlocked citizens and boaters anchored on the Severn River.

Here are some photos from the day.
Please excuse the quality of the photos. An 8 year old digital camera that takes great photos of boats on the Bay has a difficult time photographing high performance aircraft.

I only wish I could bring you the SOUND of the day! :wink:

Here comes Fat Albert around the radio towers of Greenbury Point.

And then the flight came in...

Kevin...

Just noticed this post! Most EXCELLENT! I got chills even -without- rumble of thunder that goes right through you when they pass.

I would be standing there with my mouth open,..... you on the other hand, had the presence of mind to grab your camera to share with the rest of your CP bretheren.

Thanks for sharing Kevin... they're wicked cool 8) 8)

Those fast movers...ho-hum.

Now that C-130 got me excited...reminded me of the times I was in the Ranger Battalion and jumped out of them at the drop of a hat. Jumping is the most exciting thing you can do with your pants on. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Yep. She is being driven there by Jim Maier, the owner of the company.
Here is a photo of my boat while we were waiting for company to arrive.

Dave... I like Fat Albert too! Emblazoned on the sides is United States Marines.
OoooRah!
