Blue Monday - Blue Angels

Welcome! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.

Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links and wishing them a Happy Blue Monday!

I need Blogger L❤ve too! So, please leave me a comment after you link in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've seen the amazing aerobatic maneuvers of the Blue Angels flying in their Diamond Formation. They fly so close to each other that it's frightening. You can check out their link here.


The mission of the Blue Angels is to enhance Navy recruiting, and credibly represent Navy and Marine Corps aviation to the United States and its Armed Forces to America and other countries as international ambassadors of good will.




Look at this amazing formation!

The Blue Angels are scheduled to appear close to me in Lakeland, Florida April 2-3.


Have you ever had the opportunity to see them?


Happy Blue Monday!

    Hi Sally, I am going to bed as soon as I leave this comment. I was going to wait til morning but I hate doing that.

    Yes, i have seen the Blue Angels. They are awesome. It is scary the way they fly so close together. Your photos say it all. I wish I could see them again. Are you going when they come your way? Lucky you.
    Happy Blue Monday. I especially enjoyed this blue today.

    Happy Blue Monday, Sally.

    My father took me to see the Blue Angels and/or the Thunderbirds when I was a child. They also perform near here fairly often. It is a thrilling performance.

    Are you going?

    wow! I love an airshow! I have only seen the Blue Angels once, I'm an AF Brat so I've been able to see the Thunderbirds a few times. The precision at which those pilots fly is incredible.

    Gotta love those Angels. That photo of the contrails looks like a paw with claws at first glance! (Which reminds me of a joke: the difference between a sentence and a cat is that one has claws at the end of its paws and one has a pause at the end of its clause!)

    Oh my yes! I have lived with them! Okay, so some of them stayed with ME but I digress. I think you know my husband was a Naval aviator for 27 years...several of his friends were Blues...: )
    We have been to more air shows than i can count but it is always a thrill to see them. When we were stationed in Pensaola we lived on base. They practiced every morning while at home. (P'cola is their home base) The neighnorhood joked that we had to open the front and back doors to allow them through each AM! It was LOUD! But I loved it!
    Love,
    Sue
