October 27, 2008, 08:26:09 AMI was there Saturday. How about that crappy weather? Overall, though, I had a good time and am glad the rain held off. I bet Sunday's attendees had an amazing time though.
Many of the performers had to call audibles due to the low ceiling we had on Saturday.
And I had no idea on the numbers that were in attendance. 250K?!? WOW!

October 27, 2008, 09:39:06 AMWhat an awesome time on a perfect fall Sunday afternoon - There were HUNDREDS of boats on the water & I saw now real logistical or safety concerns. Pretty unique experience.

October 27, 2008, 10:36:00 AMDid the game have a flyover? Who? Seems like the timing could have been perfect to show off the Navy's Blues.

October 27, 2008, 10:39:37 AMThe flyover was from an F-16, F-15 and P-51....
The same as picture #5
It was pretty cool to see them together, although they flew pretty slow so the p-51 could keep up.

October 27, 2008, 11:05:39 AMI'm suprised I didn't see you there Dan, great photos.
There were at least 100k there on saturday and the weather (although overcast) kept things bearable, IMO. When the sun came out as the Blue Angels were wrapping up, it was getting pretty hot quick.
The Masters of Mahem group was the best show. The shockwave from those explosions was awesome!

The angels did a fly-by right after the anthem, but you had to be paying attention to see them. Pretty obvious what they were trying to do, but they weren't close enough to really hear them over the crowd noise.
I was hoping the team could coordinate something like that more effectively, but c'est la vie.

November 03, 2008, 01:45:06 PMI guess its safe to say that the military still has money to burn! That's Jax through and through! Any guesses on what the Angels' annual budget is these days. Just curious.

November 03, 2008, 02:00:45 PMMillitary as largest socialist entity is burning more money then entire welfare in world.
Imagine how much money goes for NASA to discover water on Mars or all those super fancy weapons that still don't let us win against Al Qaida.

I really wish I'd have been in town to attend the air show. Looks like great times were had by all. And yes, awesome pictures provided. Thanks to all who contributed those.

I'm not much of a photographer but I think you can still see how beautiful it was out there. Even though I was dead tired, we had a blast. Nothing like an F-16 doing a speed run right in front of you to wake you up.

November 04, 2008, 07:37:47 AMGenerally not... unless it is some kind of national event. (I cant think of what that would be) Oshkosh airshow maybe???
