Default Whoosh! Blue Angels In Town!

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

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.

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.

: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.

If those are the reasons, I agree its nonsense.
