Mike we may be in the same boat here in the west. No high wind here yet, but the advisories start at noon. My daughter will be able to she the Blue Angels as she is in A school in Pensacola.

Yes Mike, she is to be at Great Lakes early in July.  She is to be an Airdale

Also my daughter is in DEP and will be in Boot Camp early in the summer.

Mike Andrew is just Checked n to his new squadron at Whidbey Island.  He was sent for a couple of weeks of training then to the squadron.

A lager sounds great.  I will let you know the next time I plan to be in your area.  In the '70s I was Army,  Infantry Officer (O3)  but detailed Aviation.  I was a Helicopter pilot for most of the time I was in.  I hope to look in one of the Navy's birds on the Tiger to see how much they have changed.  I do miss the flying.

Thanks Mike,  I have gotten some great info in the last couple of days and am looking forward to the experience.  I get out your way sometimes and will look you up the next time.  I almost always stop at Famous, and in particular the new Leaf restaurant,  and would enjoy joining you for a drink and/or a cigar.  Dave 

Hi Mike

How are you. I'm new to this stuff so i'm slow. I live in Fawn Grove,York county down at the MD line. My son is in Groton CT right now for BESS training. I'm trying to learn what I can about what my boy is doing. Thank you for the nice welcoming to your group.

Mike, You might enjoy a lot of pictures n stories about the Blues by looking up a young lady by the name of Jacuqueline Curcio on facebook.. There is something nearly everyday.

Nice article!  I wondered if people actually complain about the military spending money on demonstation flights and such.  It's a recruiting tool!  And a very good one!  The Blues were on "half time" that weekend so they weren't flying; it was a 3 day break for them or they may have done it. 

Ray,

Not that I am aware.  The only NY show this year is in Rochester.  Millville, NJ, is part of a Navy week in Philly.  They still have an open date for 4th of July weekend this year so I guess it is possible if there is something going on there that weekend.  Next year (2012), they are scheduled to be in Hudson River, NY, (which seems to encompass a large area) and Jones Beach.  I don't know if they do fly overs for small sporting events, although they might for something like a Super Bowl or World Series. 

Mike, Congrats!

My family has been lucky enough to see the Blue Angels perform a hand full of times. They are the ELITE and I can't imagine the pride you have for David becoming a part of them. And working for #1, what an honor!

Send David my Congrats as well,

E.G.
