Day 21 - San Diego

The Blue Angels

David - spending the day at Miramar; seeing the Blue Angels (the US equivalent of the Roulettes) who fly within 18 inches of each other at simply astounding speed. Awesome.

Megan - channelling my inner Jim Hayes (aviation enthusiast friend); seeing the fighter jets take off to the Top Gun music; seeing a Harrier take off and land vertically. Awesome.

Bridget - watching a helicopter do things that a helicopter isn't supposed to do, like a 360 degree flip. Awesome.



Fighter Pilot Patrick



Declan - seeing the bombs display; watching the Blue Angels. Awesome.

Patrick - seeing the Raptor fly past at the speed of sound; sticking my fingers in my ears for half the day because the jets were so loud they made the ground shake. Awesome.
