Default Hanging out with the Blue Angels

Next weekend I'll be very fortunate to be hanging out the Blue Angels. My company is hosting them at the Binghamton Air show. We'll be working with the Blues and storing their F-18's in our hangar.
This will be an awesome experience for me since I can observe the guys behind the scenes and see the jets up close.
I'll take a bunch of pictures in detail (A walk around the BA-18) for those who are building a really scale BA F-18.

Cheers

Met Number 7 today, and we talked about the race with the Corvette. He said it wasn't even a race.
Awesome Team!

Not a big vette fan but that was pretty entertaining. Thanks for sharing the link. Loved the line about beating the B.A. on gas mileage.

I stumbled onto this and Posted it on MWBP. I have a ZR-1. I like the line when airborne," No wonder You beat Me". I thought the entire video was Great.
