Today is Top Gun Day!

How is it that I've never been to an air show before? Ft Lauderdale has one every year (and its boats too) and I have never gone.

Well, this past weekend the Blue Angels were in town and I thought what better opportunity than now to see some planes and stunts.

Other than the painfully slow exit from the parking lot, it was a great time. I have just recently watched Pearl Harbor and having seen that and then walking in an open field with many fighter planes overhead, I felt like I was in the movie when the first planes started flying into Pearl Harbor.

With fresh squeezed (I think) lemonade and roasted corn in hand, we picked a nice spot and took in the sights.






Hard to see...but this guy is on the top of the plane on the wing...
