An Afternoon of Blue Angels

Toni, Brandon and I had the opportunity to view the Blue Angels as they performed their show over Lake Washington during Sea Fair.  Unfortunately the weather was a factor, and due to the low cloud cover they had to fly what they call the "flat" show.

On board the Royal Argosy for a lunch cruise.  Uh... those are Thomas Kemper Root Beers.

The boats staged to watch the airshow.

"Fat Albert"

Diamond Formation:  They flew right over us.

One of the two Solo planes.

Yes... they were this close.

Slow pass "dirty"

The Diamond flying over the stern flag.

One of the two solo planes at 700 mph, just under the speed of sound.

You can see the vortex developing.  And it was loud.

Hi speed turn overhead.

All six.

What an incredible show!
