In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I 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!

What 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.

Did the game have a flyover? Who? Seems like the timing could have been perfect to show off the Navy's Blues.

The 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.

I'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.

Hey guys, I figured I post up a few of my shots from the Airshow.  The weather was just awful for photography, but I gave my best effort.  :-\  I struggled to do a little post processing, and it's pretty obvious from the shots.  But they may give some more perspective for the folks that didn't get to make it out there on either day.  Full album is HERE. :)
