Blue Angels

One of the Blue Angels F-18s

The Blue Angels - six fighters and a support Hercules (or maybe two) are parked off in the "secure" area belonging to Boeing (I think) on the southern end of the Museum of Flight. You can see one of the crew at the front of the plane - they were having fun and entertaining the crowd before the practice session.

Blue Angels 1 - 4 waiting to take off - two more were behind these

The 4 leading planes waiting on the runway. There were two others behind them.

Staring the takeoff.

The remaining two Blue Angels coming through the smoke screen

The two back end planes come through the smoke cloud. Hmmm, I wonder if they have EPA approval for the smoke :-)

Blue Angels off - 4 behind smoke screen, back makers to left or right

They went thata way.
