Discovered winter training for the first time in 2009, and I will be back every year.  Words can not describe the feeling of 4 F/A-18's in full afterburner flying over your head at 100 feet, truly an indescribably awesome feeling!

The "Blues" came out to see you guys in the field?
Title: Re: USN Blue Angels
Post by: Realbigtaco on September 22, 2009, 10:43:17 AM
Yeah it was a complete surprise.  This was an Airshowbuzz group, and we had a thread going all winter long from a gentleman named Ray.  So we learned that some of the team was reading the thread and sure enough they brought out the whole team (Officers) in between their 2 practices.  They actually skipped their debrief and hopped right in a van and drove over.  It was definitely a cool experience.  The shook all of our hands and thanked us for the support (Like it's a difficult thing to support?!?).  They were all very personal and all around stand up guys and gals, glad these guys are representing our country.

Ps-I'm obviously the one in the red shirt, and Nate (Kick z tails) is in the group photo as well (To my right in the grey shirt and shaved head)

Realbigtaco, It was a photo pit that Fencecheck and Dave Schultz Airshows put together. We were standing right in front of the announcers stand, if you look in the visor shot you can see the group of photographers standing there.

I heard on NASCAR This Morning Built by The Home Depot on The Speed Channel, That The Blue Angels will do the pre race fly over at the end of the National Anthem for todays (02/21/10) Auto Club 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race at Auto Club Speedway at Fontana California. Check your local FOX Channel about 3PM Eastern Time in the USA/ 12:00 noon Pacific Time.

Post by: rander on February 21, 2010, 04:51:35 PM
yes they did fly by The Auto Club Speedway about 12:02PM Pacific time, just shortly before Katherine McPhee finished the  National Anthem. The Fox TV crew did not evev acknowledge the fly by.   THe fly by looked good on Television.

A few from the morning practice... Boss, Kitty and Walleye gave us a thrill on the bales. If I was dumb enough, I swear I could have grabbed the landing gear on the way by as they landed.  :o 8)  <laughing> It was awesome. Kitty blasted us with a puff of smoke to say hi.

Nate that one you got of Boss over the bales is awesome.  Looks like you captured it right at the pefect time.  I give up when he gets that close.  Here are a few of mine.  Sorry if they are duplicates, seeing I was standing right next to Nate.

The glare from the light was already there, although it washed some of the picture out. I decided I liked it, made a new layer with the light, and erased through the rest of the shot until the light was really brilliant looking. Took me a while but I liked it.

Warbird, here it is again with no green. How about now?

Thats getting closer, in fact, that's by far the best yet  ;D i think the problem stems from shooting in jpeg instead of RAW, that was a really great day for lighting, at times, the big clouds offered some great contrast as well, i really appreciate it Z....THANKS!!!

Bert and Erine....get it? 

yep those are Fat Albert pilots in there.

From what I've heard Bert is in the shop. not sure for what, but someone said he could miss the first 5 months of the airshow season.

Actually i think I've seen them fly a standard grey C-130 more then Bert.

Ok one more for me and then work....but another one is the low break cross (thank you BA website, for the name) but when boss comes down the flightline and he hits it hard to the north, you get a good shot right down the tailpipe with burner.
