Well this past weekend we had a great family trip down to Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. They were having an air show to celebrate 100 years of Naval aviation. Dad hooked up some sweet rooms at the Navy Lodge...waterfront on the bay. We went out for a walk on the jetty and saw a bunch of dadgum dolphins swimming around. It was crazy. We had a delightful round of fish-n-chips from Snoopy's, followed by some ice cream from Scoopy's next door. The next day at the air show was fun...but the low clouds ended up preventing the Army Golden Knight parachute team from jumping, and eventually grounded the Blue Angels. It was a bit of a disappointment, but in the end, a good time was had by all.

CH-47 Chinook...these are some serious heavy lift birds.
My first time seeing an AH-64 Apache attack bird...it was awesome.
We were well positioned to watch the Blue Angels...dadgum clouds.
This is the Navy F/A-18 Hornet...it's what the Blue Angels fly.
Metal under tension, beggin' me to touch and go...highway to the danger zone!!!
The anticipation builds as each pilot salutes his crew chief, gets in the cockpit, and fires up their two General Electric turbofan engines.
The Blue Angels will be at NAS Ft. Worth JRB next weekend, along with the A-10 demonstration team. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this time. Good times.

There is nothing like your "I'm at the Air Show" smile. No need for text...just post that photo, we'll know you are having a great time :)
