Blue Angels at MCAS Miramar-September 23 2022

**Xplantdad** · #1 09-27-2022, 01:04 AM

Lynn, Holly and I took a 4 day weekend trip to San Diego to check out the first Blue Angels Air Show last Friday at MCAS Miramar since Covid hit. The last time Lynn and I were at this show, it was NAS Miramar!

We also checked out and toured the Midway Aircraft Carrier on Saturday. What an amazing vessel.

Enjoy the pics!

Amazing Flying by Jon Melby!

C-17 West Coast Demo Team

BTW, the cars in the foreground were available for "rides" down the runway at speed...for a cost.

They had an exhibition where a stunt plane raced a jet powered truck.

The truck lost, badly....LOL
