I had the opportunity to attend the 100th anniversary air show out at Lemoore Naval Air Station. I have missed it for a few years now and could not wait to see it again. With the Blue Angels doing there thing it was simply amazing. To think that some of there precision maneuvers are performed with a closing rate of 1ooo mph there is no room for a miss calculation!
The angels definitely did not let anyone down. From the roar of there planes to the perfectly timed maneuvers everyone was on there seats to see them and what they would do next. I put together a slide show of some of my days pictures for everyone to enjoy. The song will play 1 1/2 times so make sure you watch the ending!
To the Blue Angels, Thank you for all that you do and all the dedication given. We are very grateful for the service you have given to our country The United States of America!!
On a side note my wife and I could not believe that the parking and event was totally free. Man, nothing is free anymore this was a really fantastic day with the family. This led me to thinking and a conversation with a couple people. With all the car loads of people that came to the event, wouldn't it be great if we could give back to our local Military families. Would it be to much for a 5 dollar per carload entrance fee to be collected and have that money go to the following. Any family on the base that needs marital counseling, or emotional support etc could benefit from this money that was collected. I know our service families have access to certain support but how awesome would it be to give back to them for all that they endure to keep us free. I didn't think 5 dollars per car load would dig to deep into our pockets. The benefits would pour out into the neighboring communities as the family unit could and would gain strength. Just my thoughts and two cents on giving back a little that would return much more than we could ever imagine.
