Blue Angels 11/2/2012



This morning we drove about an hour from Ft. Morgan to NAS Pensacola for this year's last performance by the Blue Angels precision flight team.  We were joined by about 100,000 of our closest friends.  But, the area is so large that we didn't feel squashed.  The show included several other acrobatic flights and parachuting by all branches of the military.  There were dozens of vendors and many opportunities to enlist in the military.  After the show we visited the Naval Air Museum which is well worth a visit.

I couldn't help but wonder, with the current state of our economy, are these luxuries something that we need to rethink?   Can we actually justify this expensive recruiting tool?  Either way, we enjoyed the show!

We stopped by a local oyster bar near Perdido Bridge for an early dinner before returning to Ft. Morgan for the evening.
