Blue Angel Practice session Solo #6 low angle takeoff

[Tom Callahan]

Today was a low show pratice. The sky was cloudy, sunny, bright, dull,
gray, blue, etc. It was constantly changing.
About ten minutes after the practice ended all of the clouds moved north and
the sky became bright blue.

I came home and we went to the beach for about two hours. Most of that was
in the water. It wasn't as clear as yesterday but there were more fish
today. We know because they were nibbling. They were nibbling our toes and
the hair on my legs. Soon it will be wamer water and it will clear up like
the water in your Evian bottle. When that happens we can see all of the
fish, crabs and other stuff. Of course the downside is the warmer the water
the higher the chance of a tropical storm.

How in the world were you able to get that photo?! Outstanding pan-ability.

I was standing on the edge of the taxiway when he took off this morning. I
wish I had a better lens so the name under the cockpit was in focus. The
pilot, LCDR Olson, is the guy who just returned to the Blue Angels. If you
want the photo in large format just let me know, Tom

Can it ever be otherwise...?

We feel your pain.

Bob ^,,^ in Seattle, where it's 54° and dribbling. At least we get some
nice views now and then...
