There aren't many things out there that will make a grown man tear up. Watching 32,000-pound fighter jets fly by in full afterburner with "God Bless the U.S.A." playing in the background is one of them.
The Navy's Blue Angels have been a staple of Americana for decades, thrilling audiences and bestowing a sense of national pride like few others can. The first time I saw them at an air show as a child, I was mesmerized. The low passes and the tight formations were incredible, and the sound of freedom was unforgettable.

As soon as I heard about the old lady's old cat dying of heart failure, which it had for a long time, I knew she'd figure into trying to shut down the Blue Angels.
Far as I'm concerned, even with my 13 year old cat, they could relocate to the military air base here in northern Utah.
I'd love to see more of that.

Seattle. Nothing surprises. The one year when we lived there it was #1 in the USA for alcoholism and suicides, respectively. And it was a state where hard liquor could only be purchased at a state store or in a restaurant. Taverns were beer only. I remember Seafair. The Blue Angels were a big deal. No one had heard of "climate change ". We were mercifully transferred.

I grew up in the landing path for Glenview (Il) Naval Air Station. When it's an everyday thing, you just didn't think about it. Visitors were always in awe, low flying jets, very loud because military aircraft had no noise constraints.
And yeah, the Blue Angels showed up now and then and even as a kid, I took note with pride.

RE #3:
I spent 25 years living extremely close to the take-offs and landings of the Green Mountain Boys in Vermont. Every night at 6pm or so, you learned to either pause the evening news or put on the closed captions so you could hear the news. And after a while, you didn't even hear them anymore. Even our cats ignored them.
The sound of freedom is a precious thing to hear!!!

I suspect Seafair needs the Blue Angels more than the BAs need them. Plenty of places in flyover country would be happy to host them.

And right after they cancel the Blue Angels, they are going after Baseball. They have already destroyed Football with their classless name changes and atrocious actions at the mere mention of the National Anthem. Many people have already tuned out of NFL, as has yours truly, so Baseball surely has to be next. What with the 7th inning break and singing God Bless America, this just can’t be allowed to go on. After all, what’s more American than Baseball and Apple Pie. Good Lord, then they will go after apple pie. You will not see Marie Calendar’s apple pies in the grocery store for fear of protests and marches down the aisle in the produce section. After they have accomplished that, maybe they will put their feet up and have a cold one. Oops! That has to go too. Cold ones infer happy relaxation and might cause climate change. Where can we possibly go from here?

Back in the early days of digital scanners I attended a demonstration by the Thunderbirds. The precision flying was of course impressive, but for me it was the pilots. I found the plane to plane frequency on my radio and was in awe of just how cool those guys were. The voices were just so calm, like they were in their recliner chairs chatting about the weather. Even when pulling high Gs you couldn't tell from their voices. I would not want to be in a dogfight with those guys.

The F-18 is a jet fighter not a "fighter jet."

The Blue Angles and the Thunderbirds are recruiting tools. And they are awesome! How many kids watch the planes fly over, hear the roar of the engines, feel the excitement of the low fly over and say, "I want to do that!'
Those pilots are the best of the best. Have trained for years to try out for the teams. I was honored to attend one of the Thunderbirds reunions in Vegas. What a thrill to meet these men and women who fly these planes, and the crews that keep those planes in top notch condition. Only people who hate our country want patriotism to stop complain about anything our military does. that women should just go get another cat and be grateful our military is here for us.

I totally predicted this last month when the libs attacked Trump’s June 14th military parade in DC as something a dictator would do. I said, what’s next? Military air shows? The Thunderbirds performed in OKC last month and you couldn’t find a parking spot. I was actually hoping some protesters would show up but they were nowhere to be seen.

Wow....yea, that's Seattle. But I sure hope San Francisco doesn't take the same tack! Every October Fleet Week, after the Blue Angels complete their air show over the bay, they fly directly over my Oakland hills backyard on their way back to Travis AFB.....SO LOUD and SO LOW I feel like I could almost touch them! What a thrill!! Just LOVE IT!! :-)

A couple of weeks ago, my family and I attended a charity baseball game in Vegas between the Raiders and the Golden Knights. The Thunderbirds at Nellis Air Force Base did a flyover just before the game ended. At the end of the game, the pilots were on hand to be recognized and applauded. Also, a Navy veteran sang, not only the National Anthem, but God Bless America. The crowd was loud and proud. It restored my faith in, most people being good Americans who love their country, than all of the whining and lies coming out of the liberal mouths, along with their liberal media buddies.

How do we know that this liberal lady did not murder her cat? She should be taken into custody and an investigation started immediately. No bail should be available.
