If you haven't already heard, listen up!
The Blue Angels are coming to Milwaukee.
Have you ever seen the Blue Angels?
Also known as the U.S. Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron, they fly F/A-18 Hornets at air shows across the country. I've seen them probably three or four times and they are, in a word, AWESOME. They fly in perfect formations and do flips and turns and narrowly miss one another as they fly. They're loud and beautiful and watching them is a truly EXHILIRATING experience.
If you live anywhere near Milwaukee, consider attending the Milwaukee Air Expo this weekend, July 16-17. It's at Veteran's Park on the lakefront and runs all day. There's just something special about an air show - the ceremonies and demonstrations and the awe of the spectators - it always causes me to get a little choked up! Anyway, besides airplanes flying above, there will also be rides and games for kids and a beer tent for adults.
The Blue Angels are scheduled to appear at 4:05 both Saturday and Sunday. I'll be there Saturday and I can't wait!
Nice press release.

Not a press release, thanks, just something I'm pretty excited about - I want to get others excited, too.

The Blue Angels keep flying by my office window. It's pretty awesome.

DannyNoonan, you must work downtown. I do as well and was outside at lunch and saw the Blue Angels for the first time. They were initially flying really low and it was much cooler than I would have expected. You could hear them all afternoon flying around and I was lucky enough to get out and see they fly by doing a couple tricks. I wish I could go see them in action for real this weekend.

My husband takes my son to see the Blue Angels every year. He started when Nick was a baby....hubby brought home a poor sunburned 2 year old. He's 13 now....and they still come home with a sunburn...men!
Michele sent me....neat blog, I'll be back!
