Blue Angels - Another point of view

[Bill Denton]

Shortly before noon, I went to the kitchen and made lunch, then brought it
out to the living room and placed it on the coffee table.

I always eat lunch in the living room so I can watch the reruns of Law &
Order, one of my favorite shows.

As I ate and watched Law & Order, from time to time I would turn my head and
look out my living room window and watch the Blue Angels practice for the
Chicago Air and Water Show, perhaps a mile and a half from where I was
sitting.

There are days when living on the Chicago Lakefront is worth every penny of
the ridiculous rent I pay to live here.

Today is definitely one of them...

[Jon Woellhaf]

I'd have been riveted to the window.

Too bad the Blues (and all the other airshow acts) wouldn't boycott
Chicago's big airshow.

If these groups had stood behind Meigs last year by refusing to perform, the
negative publicity and outcry from the public could have driven King Daley
to either re-open Meigs -- or to resign.

Now, alas, it's far too late.

Enjoy.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't have made any difference...

Maggie Daley wanted a park.

Mayor Daley is pussy-whipped.

Mayor Daley is also King.

Maggie's got her damned park.

Wonder if she's even set foot in it?

Considering that the FAA just reduced the number of flight operations at
O'Hare because of congestion, Daley's constituents should be screaming about
his closing a reliever airport.

In Chicago, the dead can vote. Can they scream?

Sounds like a voice-over on the trailer of a B-grade hatchet movie...

After I wrote that question, I'd a similar thought. Except instead of
hatchets, we'd use bulldozers (the weapon of choice for Chicago mahem these
days).

I laughed so hard! Thank you!

""The experience I'm having now some four hours later, I still have a
little bit of a headache,'' Williams said. "I think he got up to about
Mach 6. The G forces against your body are just ... I'm sorry, I just
don't have the words to adequately express the feeling of awe and the
power and the skill of the pilot.''

Williams earned a badge of honor from his pilot, but it was nothing
tangible like a gold star or pin-on wings. The fact that he didn't vomit
while doing maneuvers at six times the speed of sound earned a thumbs-up"

Happy Flying,

They are, but nobody cares about the noise levels in a cemetary.

Hmmm. In lots of places you would be watching the Blue Angels on video
and glancing out of the window to watch law & order.
Looks like you made a good choice ::)

Wow, must be some new LoPresti speed modifications for the F-18! :-)
Hmmm, I wonder if this guy mistook the G forces for speed. Funny read.

And if my addiction is at all typical, how many times had you already
seen it?

They were in Hillsboro, OR last weekend: There's nothing else quite like
having the diamond w/solos (all 6 planes) come over your house at about 500'
