They are flying over my house.

and we weren't so worried about our freedumbs, I laid on my back at the end of the General Spatz field in Reading PA and watched the Blue Angels fly over at an altitude of maybe 100 feet.

Gaud, I kinda miss those days.

I was sitting out front of my armsroom when they did a very low fly over directly above me. It was awesome

They can do really remarkable maneuvers. They literally close a bridge and we went out onto it and sat while they blazed by at incredibly low altitudes. That little thing last night was nothing, thought really that kind of rain should probably have precluded even that.
