Blue Angel Heritage Flight

The Blues are getting ready to start the 2017 Air Show season. During a recent event the Flight Lead did a heritage flight with an F6F and F8. These are not my photos (obviously ;) ), but I found them in the Navy photo gallery. Just look at these beautiful birds!

Those are some stunning photos! I sure would love to be flying alongside those beautiful planes. Lucky photographer! Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful! My freshly painted and liveried Blue FW 90mm F-18 is ready! :)

Thanks! Have some sun today (wait, what's that?) so looking forward to a sortie after work.

Sun? In the North West? Gotta be an illusion... :D

[Aros]

LOL I think you're right!

That's sweet Aros! Nice work.

Thanks! Now the goal is to keep her in one piece for the next year or two. ;)

And so I'm not completely hijacking the thread, back to the Blue Angels, I have loved them ever since I was a little kid seeing them fly over Lake Washington during SeaFair. There were some years without them flying due to budget and other restrictions, it was a huge hole. So happy they are back doing their thing. Oh to go up in one! Those local news anchors that get to go up in the VIP ride are so lucky! Here's a TV anchor that went up in one...And she passes out in three, two, one....
