    I have enjoyed the Blue Angels since being stationed at MCAS Cherry Point. I saw my first air show in 1974 what a thing to see for the first time as a Pfc. The F-4 Fantom was being retired that year and the A-4 Skyhawk was the follow on aircraft. Since those days and up until my retirement in 1993 as a Gunnery Sergeant I have watched in amazement by what these air craft can do and the talent in each air crew. Semper Fi to the Navy's Blue Angels.

My youngest son (5 years old) is huge into aircraft because his Grandpa was a Navy P-3 aviator, and she talked to him after the show. I've never seen him blush before that. Also, the landing is what they do to us in Afghanistan to avoid ground fire.
