I've been trying to convince the Red Arrows to drop by Seattle for

decades.
So far, no joy... =(


The Blue Angels came to Manchester in the early nineties as I recall. I'm
not into displays, but their close routine was awesome and certainly the
best I had ever seen up until then. It was Woodford Airshow in about 1992 I
think.

I remember seeing them at Finningley over the Battle of Britain weekend,
also in 1992 I think. The Red Arrows were fogged in back at Scampton, but
the Blue Angels were based on site and got to display as the weather
cleared. Including passes over the crowds and the display static area,
which you don't get these days... and being post-Ramstein, I wasn't
expecting them in those days either!

I also saw the Blue Angels at Ben****ers in 1973, and remember thinking that
the F4 wasn't an obvious choice for formation aerobatics.

It really is high time for a few exchange visits.

Speaking of Flugtag, here's a picture I found of the memorial of the victims
from August 8, 1988.

Oops! Maybe I should've attached the pic.

Yes it was Finningly that I saw them not Woodford. Searching on Google
shows that Woodford had the Spitfire crash in 1992 and luckily I missed that
one.
