Oooh... there they are!!
Ah... shoot!!! Missed them!
Mama... get a better camera!
Sigh... you can see the exhaust trail here...
That's a little better... at least you can tell they are planes!
Oooh... ahhh...
And if you really want to know what they look like... here's a news pic...
And... just as I was about to head inside... this earth-shattering roar tore apart the skies and a jet flew right over the house!! A real jet this time... not one of those snowbird things. It came back over but... well... this is as good as it gets...
Turns out it was a CF-18 Hornet... which look like this if you get close enough...
Whew... we now return to our regular scheduled programming (Olympics!)...
When you said "snowbirds" I too thought the senior citizens were back in town. Was there an airshow in your town? We have a troupe similar to the snowbirds called the Blue Angels. They were at the airshow near our house last year but they didn't come this year. I hear they are kind of expensive to get.
ReplyDeleteI also thought of the Blue Angels. Those pilots must have nerves of steel, to fly that close to each other. Precision!
DeleteMaybe we can book them for the stuffy convention?
DeleteThose are cool pictures! Since the snowbirds were in town, we assume that your seKretaries also served some delicious ice cream to help celebrate...? (Jerry wanted to know.)
