Non footy adrenaline rush

Just back in the office from a Blue Angels airshow in Annapolis. My entire dept went down to the Naval Academy grounds to watch(my boss rocketh!). First time I've ever seen such a display....what an incredible rush! I think the planes were F-18 fighter jets, that did manouvers(sp?) at over 500mph and as slow as 120mph. Lots of rolls, flying straight up into the air like a rocket then dropping straight back down, buzzing the crowd only a few hundred feet away...Amazing! I've always been curious about these airshows, but never went to see one. I think I'll be more inclined to go in the future! :-)

yep.... fantastic stuff (though you should see a decent team like the Red Arrows ;-) )

Military Air Tattoo at Greenham Common (before they put the nukes there) was one of the best days out I've ever had. Don't much like the modern airshows with passenger planes.

Bring back the Lightning and Vulcan :-)))
