Caught the #blueangels during their practice show on Friday as they flew by the Neptune statue out at the oceanfront.
Had some great conversations with visitors enjoying the weather and show. A retired Navy Captain, an Emory neurology student, and an electrician all made for a great afternoon.

The United States Navy's Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, popularly known as the Blue Angels, was formed in 1946 and is currently the oldest formal flying aerobatic team. The squadron's six demonstration pilots currently fly the F/A-18 Hornet in more than 70 shows at 34 locations throughout the United States each year, where they still employ many of the same practices and techniques used in their aerial displays in 1946. Since their inception, the "Blues" have flown a variety of different aircraft types for more than 427 million spectators worldwide
