I think the Blue Angles are so much better than the Air Force Thunderbirds, saw the thunderbirds in Denmark one year and they were a big disappointment, a single Danish F-16 put them all the shame. The Angles were here at Andrews for our air show and then they stayed for the graduation at the Naval academy.

Nice pics guys. I was out there Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Blues were fantastic but the views on the water were even better. ;) We has purchased 400 strings of beads and didn't come home with a single strand, it looked like Mardi Gras West :chuckle:

Other than the practice on friday, does anyone know if there are more times over the weekend for the air show at Fairchild?  My step-mom's birthday is saturday and her son is a USMC Major who just got home a few weeks ago.  I was thinking this would be a fun trip for us all.   
Thanks

Yes that is the same and Phool is correct, F-22.

The actual airshow is Saturday and Sunday.  Here is the public website that has the schedule.  If you come out Sunday morning, look for me at one of the burger booths, booth number 22.  We'll be wearing 92 CS hats.  Ask for Jake.

No problem.  Just got done watching the F-22.  That thing is hot!  If anyone comes out to the show, you have to check it out.  Got some more good pics.  I'll post them later.
