Re: Air Show

We have an "air show" every day. We are in the flight path for the Naval Air Station so planes all the time. The Blue Angels come to our base every other year. This year only military pass people were allowed on to the base since the war was either going on or getting started. THe neat thing is that the Angels fly over the bays and you can sit on the water edge and get a great view. The down side is being where we are three days of Angels overhead drives you up a wall. We left for one day just to get away from the noise.
