Some great shots there. Nos 1 and 2 are scary. Even allowing for the
perspective compression of a telephoto lens, that sort of close flying
is madness!

Hang on to those excellent Blue Angels shots, Joe. There will only be
two shows - ever - that I know of with plane #4 not flying. Pilot did
a bad-bad with a female support personnel. Mother Navy grounded him
for a time-out, or a courts martial!
