The headline says "Blue Angels Hold First-Ever Open Tryouts, 87 Dead, 243 Injured in Day 1 of Weeklong Event"
but there's always room for one more!

the application provided to become a new pilot is a simple and easy form....... I have seen the movie Top Gun about 5 times and all of the Iron Egle movies about the same, although Iron Eagle 1 is the best of that series, but with watching those movies, I might have a chance........

I forgot to mention I also watched the movie " flight of the Pheonix" ( Jimmy Stewart version ) many times, so that over rides all other intruder or Navy movies....

hahahaha good one

did anyone tried to "take your daughter to war "day?



Others noted the beaming face of Peter Collsworthy, a foreman at an Akron, OH cement plant for the past 25 years, who got the biggest roars from the crowd by far.

"He may have flunked the 'near-miss' part of the high-speed aerobatic pass, caused the death of a man with 17 years' flight experience when he sheared the wing off of Cmdr. Hickock's plane, vomited into his helmet, panicked, inverted the aircraft with the throttles maxed, and hit Mach 1 just before crashing into bleachers full of spectators with almost a full load of fuel," Blue Angels commanding officer Brock Saxon said. "But he nailed the steep climb and the steep dive, and he certainly had showmanship. If there's one thing I keep telling my cadets, it's that you can't teach enthusiasm. I think we all learned a little something about the power of raw enthusiasm here today."

"That crowd was rocking out to 'Danger Zone' when he plummeted into them at the speed of sound," said Lois Collsworthy, Peter's widow. "That would have meant a lot to him. He always loved that song."

I should have just gone with: I know a guy, who knows a guy, whos brother-in-law knows a guy that owns the video Threshold, about the Blues when they flew F-4 Phantoms.
