blue angels

the navy blue angels were in town this weekend for a show and have been practicing overhead for a couple of days. they are so loud and so cool. their saturday show was cancelled due to weather, but today when we got home the show was just starting. some of the flights required them to fly directly over our house. it was so cool to hear them and even see some of them really close overhead. i wasn't able to get pictures of the ones that were really close due to the sheer speed of them but here are a couple of the formations. the first one is the blue angels in one of their 4 plane formations. they were a little ways away but still sooo cool. and the diamond shaped formation flew directly over us. this is a formation of fighter jets. six of them flew right around our house and back over to the chippewa valley airport. i'm so glad we got to see some of them so close up. i will definitely be attending a blue angels show someitme in the future! and i would love to pilot one or even ride in one, but not sure that will happen anytime soon....
the jets got a lot closer then these pictures show and below is a video of one that got pretty close. my camera was not able to pick up the extreme sound of them but it gives you a slight idea. it was such a cool experience to have them flying over and around for a couple days.
