Blue Angels

Grandaddy Steve has been wanting to take Landon to the airshow in Havelock to see the Blue Angels. For those of you (including myself) that don't know who the Blue Angels are I'll give you a little background. The Blue Angels' mission is to enhance Navy and Marine Corps recruiting efforts and to represent the naval service to the United States. The Blue Angels serve as positive role models and goodwill ambassadors for the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps. They do over 60 air shows a year and over 8 million people get to see their daring stunts performed. Along with the airshow and other air performers the army base offered all types of their army machines and equipment that the kids could climb on and explore. Landon and Peyton had a great time crawling in and out of the trucks and watching the airplanes perform all kind of tricks. They weren't real big on the loader planes but we had earplugs to lessen the noise. Below are a few pictures of our day. Blue Angels airplane that they were using to take pictures in

Grandaddy wanted to get in on the fun so he jumped in the army truck with Landon to scope out things

Here is a picture that I took of how close the Blue Angels fly together. One little mistake and they are all going down!

If you look closely the #1 and #4 planes are upside down. Pretty amazing!

Here are some of the other performers
