Whoosh! Blue Angels In Town!

Schöneboom · 10-11-08, 06:01 PM

Just took this picture from my terrace; pardon the graininess (max. zoom). A V-22 Osprey flew past earlier today, with rotors up. Wow! That was loud!

Very nice. Haven't seen the Blues since I lived in San Diego. Apparently the Hillsboro airshow isn't big enough for them.

PD

Just watching is boring - try that stuff yourself here:

I'm on it since two days - and I fail miserably...

Yeah, and liberal Democrats in the city are once again complaining about the Blues. How disgusting these liberal idiots are. The Blue Angels put on one fabulous airshow. These guys are very skilled aviators and do alot to enhance recruiting efforts and community outreach.

We had those planes here back in ither the late 90s, 2000. One of the two, they were performing at the one of the local naval air stations for a airshow. Those praticed over are house( along with about every other plane in the air show), and I tell you one thing. They are loud.

Cause there is nothing better for them to do than talk out there a**es.

stabiz · 10-11-08, 06:31 PM

:rotfl:Forgot I was in GT for a moment. But seriously, there must be some kind of logic behind it. So I ask again: Why?

It varies, but it's usually just nonsense. These liberal Democrats here don't like the noise is one complaint. Of course they could wear earplugs or hide in the basement for the day. Another stupid complaint I've heard from them is that it "glorifies" war. And one of these people actually told me that it teaches kids that "might is right" and promotes violence. Absolute nonsense.

Task Force · 10-11-08, 06:33 PM

Theres no real reason.

If those are the reasons, I agree its nonsense.

Task Force · 10-11-08, 06:36 PM

So some fighter(no longer fighter) planes are teaching kids that war is good, and violence.:rotfl: Good lord, better not let them start looking at airshows with Mustangs, Spitfires, and other war planes. They try to caput them to.

Subman? Why do you insist on blasting your horn at everyone that does not conform to what you think ,and why do you always try and target as many as "them" as possible whenever you can?

I personally believe that there is nothing wrong with airshows what so ever, and can inspire someone people to find a career that they can truly love while at the same time providing a service to their country, but that was not necessary subman.

I am going to side with Mikhayl on this side of the argument simply becuase he is right to a great degree. For the average ground pounder in the army, they are serving becuase they was dragged in my propaganda, or becuase they can't figure out what to do with their life/and or they can't simply survive on the outside without some kind of structure and system. Not to mention the fact that there arn't that many jobs avaible for "one man trained to kill other humans, and survive in a hole" availble.

The exceptions to this I would probaly say, is the college/acadamy educated officer corps, the lawyers, and the pilots/ground maintence crews, medics, crypto lingust/other specailists. However in the end, the person sitting there with the rifle, stuck in a trench is in a dead end job/carreer 90% of the time. While I respect them, I need them, but i defeintly don't want to be one.

Saw the Blue Angels performance at the IMAX theater a few years ago. Man was that cool. But some folks there needed the little green bag.
