Happy July!

We had a great treat this morning.  We're not far west of Pensacola, FL, which is the home base for the Blue Angels - the crack flying team of the US Navy.

Their general performances have been put on hold for a while (due to the sequester), but they must still be flying.  A couple of planes were flying practice runs over the Gulf in front of our place.  Loops and vapor trails and low passes certainly entertained our group.  After about 30 minutes or so, they turned back to the east headed for home, and did a low pass along the beach, vapor trails streaming, right in front of the house.

In a few minutes, a single plane showed up - also doing loops, climbs, and barrel rolls.  As he headed back to the base, he did a low pass, rolled over, and finished the run upside down.

What a super morning!
