I’m about to lose control and I think I like it.
Don’t think it is uncool to be very, very excited about this weekend’s NAS Jax Airshow. It’s not.
In fact, It’s seriously uncool NOT to be excited about seeing the Blue Angels, the USAF F-15 Eagle West Coast Demo team, the USAF F-16 Viper East Coast Demo team and the 82nd Airborne Division’s freefall team.
I mean, c’mon. What are you, un-American? Any more of that kind of talk and I’ll set Michele Bachman (R-MI) on you.
Saturday, I shall be watching the whole thing from the comfort of a floating Gin-Palace on the St. John’s River. Sunday, I will be attending the event itself, looking at the static displays and watching some hardcore Civil War Reenactors. That’s right, the guys from Confederates in the Attic will be there. [Bones Note: I have many tales to tell of these guys. Get used to seeing them mentioned here].
Of course the main attraction will be the military fast jets, and their daring aerobatics. I can’t wait. Here is a taster:
I have to admit, the NAS airshow is right up there with Thanksgiving morning at Pete’s as a highlight of the year.
I’ll see y’all there.
