My friend was up in san francisco this past weekend, she heard the blue angles where in town, she didnt see the blue angles flying overhead, but she saw and took some pics of some red and white planes doing formations overhead as she was driving around town, i thought ive seen the blue angles in red planes before on tv, they where older planes, does anyone else happen to know if they ocassionaly fly older red and white planes? or do they only fly planes with the signature blue and gold scheme ?
im courious.

Probably the red baron pizza planes? Old bipes?

The Blue Angles' aircraft are blue, hence the name. I think your friend saw the Canadian Snowbirds. They were also flying at fleetweek. Their aircraft are red and white.

Check it out.....

The Blue Angles....are they owned by the same guy as the Kansas City Chefs ??

The Blue Angles fly the FA-18 Hornet. It is Blue and Gold, the colors of the US Navy. They have flown the FA-18 since around 1987 when they had their first show at Naval Air Station Cecil Fileld Florida (Jacksonville). I was stationed there at the time and attached to the Light attack Wing One. We introduced the FA-18 to the Fleet around that same time. The FA-18 was a replacement for the A-7 Corsair. By the way it was then as it is now, a great show.

okay....so I'll throw a bone out here for you guys.....it's ANGELS not ANGLES........USE THE DAMN SPELL CHECKER....some underpaid code jockey went through the trouble of building it !!!

Actually PA-28, using spellcheck wouldn't do much good since "ANGLES" is a word too. duh.

you're right....my bad....

I don't trust Spell-Checkers, especially after an experience I had in a letter to a friend telling him about a fire in my Flight-Box. Seems I absent mindedly dropped some loose nicads in my flight-box drawers. I wrote him about the incident and just hit "Spell Check" when finished, then without reading it over, sent the letter off.

My friend wrote back saying he would never again ask to borow any of my "wipe rags" after finding out what their original use was. Having no idea what he was referring to, I wrote back asking for clarification. He answered with, "Check your letter to me."

As he suggested I reread my letter to him and found that the damned Spell Checker had substituted the word Underwear for the word Drawers!"

Since that letter, I have gone to using nothing but Bounty Paper Towels for wipes!
Can't afford to keep buying all those Hanes briefs from Wally World anyway.

P.S. Note that I kept this RC related by using the words Flight-Box and Nicads...just
hope the Spell Checker knows what they are!
Grampaw...

Could it have been the Air Force Thunderbirds?
