Default Fog cancels Blue Angel practice session

Thanks, I think it's good composition and I apologize for putting it up in
such a large size. I didn't realize that I had not saved it as a smaller
file.

The Chamber of Commerce doesn't want them going overseas. The idea is to
fill up our hotels and to let our restaurants make lots of money.
Kidding aside, their mission is to help recruit people to the armed forces.
There isn't too much of a workforce overseas that would be targets for the
recruiters and given the tight budget they work on it's probably hard for
them to get permission to go outside the continental USA. I know last year
they did go to the Netherlands. It apparently was a logistical nightmare
for them. But who knows, maybe they will go to the UK next year, Tom

You wouldn't know it from the photos I took this morning but there was a
cloud and fog bank moving south to north which caused the Blue Angels to
not
practice today. They had suited up, were strapped in, and the engines
were
running when the safety officer called off the practice. No big thing.
They go to MacDill AFB in Tampa tomorrow for the weekend show and we'll
see
them back here next week.


Nice Pic - I wish they'd do a show here in the UK...
