Hmmm.... I can recall learning about acute angles, and obtuse angles, but

I
haven't a clue about blue angles.


1, 2, 3 newsgroups. That's just great. Doh!!

I plead the post 3 am posting defense.
(Not even the infamous *Chewbacca defense* will work for me here)

....blue angles are very fast angles.

Don't you hate it when spell checker says "yep, ok by me" but the manual
context checker failed? Yep, that stuff happens a lot at 3:00 am.

I think you should go for the Chewbacca defense anyway...

...blue angles are very fast angles.


....that produce a thrust to weight ratio greater than 1:1...very cool.
Favorite maneuver...dirty roll on takeoff.

I took my kids to the Duluth air show several times when we lived up there.
One year the Concord did what they called a "turn and burn," which was a low
pass and go around. The noise of the Concord when they poured on the coal
scared the Bee Jeepers out of my kids who were all under ten at the time.
