Blue Angels

Mel and James' friend took me, mom and dad out to watch the Blue Angels practice today. This weekend is SeaFair and they put on a full show over Lake Washington before the hydroplane races on Sunday, but practice for 3 days leading up to it. It was cloudy today, so we got to see the "low" show - not too much of that straight up climbing and full "g"s, but a lot of low flying right off the water. It was awesome! You could see the pilots in the cockpit as the zoomed by in front of you!

Yes - he is as low as he looks in this picture!



It was hard to get a good picture, but there were a lot of boats out watching!
They close the I-90 bridge and some of the water space around it as private air space. These barges cruised around and made sure people stayed far enough back.
