GENESEE PARK, SEATTLE, WA :: You gotta love the Blue Angels! I know some people don't for various reasons, but even those who protest these magnificent machines of death must respect the amazing skill of the pilots and the incredible engineering of the jets. The best part of the show was the sonic boom and the resulting vapor cone flashes from the tail of the F/A-18, just feet above the lake. Shock and awe, baby!

It sucks because they fly too close to the surface

That's a benefit and consequence of living in a city. A little excitement now and then, along with the noise.

I doubt the folks in Carnation or Granite Falls were bothered.
