We got to see he Blue Angels

The Blue Angels use a United  States Marine Corps C-130T 
Hercules nicknamed "Fat Albert" for logistics, carrying
 spare parts, equipment, and to carry support 
personnel between shows.

The "Blues" F/A-18 aircraft are former fleet aircraft that are
 nearly combat-ready. According to the Navy, they can be 
repainted and readied for combat service in just 72 hours. 

Significant modifications to each aircraft include removal of the
 aircraft gun and replacement with the tank that contains the 
paraffin-based smoked oil used in demonstrations,...


 installation of inverted fuel pumps to increase the time aircraft 
can spend inverted without fuel starvation, and outfitting 
with the control stick spring system that is used to 
facilitate more precise aircraft control inputs.




We left before the show ended to avoid all the traffic 
and we watched the end of the show of one 
of the streets near the air field.


The "Angels" put on a nice show.
