Blue??

The Air Show was this weekend and it was a really cool event. Never having been to an air show i was not quite what to experience.

There were all sorts of planes on display and the public was allowed to enter some of the really big ones. THE Clydesdale's were there and some other things on display. There were air performances topped off by the Blue angles. Overall it was a fun experience.

A few thing I noticed:

  • Planes are loud.
  • People dress really badly
  • People eat anything on a stick
  • White folk burn easy

Another head scratcher was the Blue Angles. Sure there show was fun, but after a few passes it was boring. As I was leaving I saw the real jaw dropper. People were lined up to get autographs!! That is right autographs from these pilots. I don't get it! They are pilots. They operate a machine. Would you ask the bus driver for an autograph?

Granted what they do is kinda cool, but nothing that anyone else could not do (with the same amount of training). I just don't get it. I am way more impressed by the infantry guys who manage to stay alive while getting shot at everyday. Those are the guys who I admire.

Anyway, it was a god experience!!
