as seen at the 2007 Air Show in Muskogee, OK
(Todd M. this post and photoshow are for you! Wish you could have been with us.)
The Blue Angels are the U.S. Navy stunt flight team. The jets flew and manuvered on a perfect, sunny Saturday. The six blue-and-yellow F/A-18 Hornets lined up on the runway facing the crowd. Air whistled through their engines as the pilots prepared for take-off.
People in the crowd shaded their eyes against the afternoon sun to get a good look. As the jets began rolling, the landscape behind them was turned into a shimmering mirage by the hot exhaust.
Once in the air, the Blue Angels treated the crown to a wide variety of graceful formations and dramatic maneuvers. People craned their necks to follow the action. There was thunder in the sky, despite clear weather and a light breeze.
The Army's award-winning skydiving team, the Golden Knights, also performed at the Air Show as did other air craft. 
It was quite a show!
What a spectacular day
we had with our grandson,
Parker B.!
