Went and saw the Blue Angels preform today. Just simply amazing and stirred a bit of American pride.

I thoroughly enjoy airshows. Chattanooga used to have one for years.

Long time ago I was playing golf and the pre show practice display by an F-14 was awesome. It was the best seat in the house and not even the show.
The louder the better.

Got say I checked out an F-15 up close one time and she was leaking hydraulic oil like a sieve. You get up and personal and see flaws. Kinda like....

But that is ok..I like my military equipment dirty used and trained.

Years ago - probably 1979, we were visiting my brother when he was flying F-106s at Langley; he and I went over to the alert hanger to look around. Impressive - planes sitting there loaded and ready to go. What I couldn't get over was a couple of the pilots wanting to know more about the TMI accident - my brother had told them about my being there, and they asked him to bring me by. I was thinking you get to do this and you want to know about what I was doing - just inconceivable to me. I'd have traded places in a heartbeat.

I had plotted going to NAS Pensacola one year when we were in Destin to see the museum. You had to drive to the west side of the base to get in which seemed like a pain so we didn’t go. Then shortly after that a friendly Saudi pilot decided to go berserk and now you can’t get in the base at all without military ID.

We gonna mess around and get beat at home on senior day? Our offensive line getting its azz handed to them again. Beasleys dumbazz personally turning a FG into a TD, wow.

We are surely the better team but we have to execute. Hooker looks better this week.

DAMN!!! The ref stood there 10 feet away and stared at that blatant PI in the endzone without throwing a flag!!! WTF

Damn Hyatt killed that drive all by himself. 4 consecutive TD drives though and the Defense held em to a FG. I hate that Tillman isn't playing, not bc we aren't fine with Keyton...but bc Tillmans draft position will likely fall due to missing another game AFTER surgery and 6 to 7 weeks rehab time. Worries those folks since draft picks are so hard to come by.

Mizzous QB is the fastest player on the field when façing our defense...faster than his WR...faster than any defensive back we have as well. Honestly, if they ran more designed runs for him from the shotgun spread this game would be closer.
