Blue Angels Question(s)

LOL!!! :-)
Dammit Paul, I always suspected there was a right way to spell that damn
word. Just never bothered to look it up!! :-)))
Come to think of it, Jagger riding in on a Segway just might have spoiled
the mood a bit!!!

No, it was a bicycle, not a Segway. Segways weren't even invented back
when this was filmed (http://www.segway.com/). Perhaps you mean "segue"?

Speaking of Dean Jagger, anybody see X, The Unknown?

Mick Jagger on a Segway might be more believable!

Hi Orville;
Dammit, I missed you again. Just got back this week from Ormond Beach.
Completely forgot about Spruce Creek would you believe it??

I think Mick's tied up doing something else right now. Last I heard, he was
renting himself out as a pop up face to help people get rid of the hiccups
:-))

I have a great affinity for "God is My Co-Pilot" naturally, as I knew
Scotty personally, but my all time favorite air movie has to be
"12'o'clock High", and strangely enough, it's not the air sequences I
liked so much in the film.
The opening sequence with Dean Jagger, the mug, the bicycle, the fence,
the airfield, then the flashback, has to be one of the finest segway
sequences ever filmed. The ending as well, coming back to the present with
Jagger leaving as he came in on the bike truly put a master's touch of
film making on this picture.

Good story, too; the USAF still uses it as a demonstration of strong
leadership.

Really! They still showing "God is My Co-Pilot"? The USAF show it to us at
Lackand back in 1955.

My CFI is joining the USAF for aviation training. It took almost all my self
control not give his some "good" advice. But, it made wonder how many tradition
survived. Do they sill through you in the water after your first solo? Do they
still square they meals? Do they still play tag around the clouds (mock
dogfight)? etc.

Errata. Change "God is My Co-Pilot" to "Twelve O'clock High"

The National Museum of the United States Air Force at one time sold
copies of the "Toby" mug. I have wanted to get one for my mantel, but
have not gone back to their website to see if they still sell it.
