    I've been on a yacht in the Bay for Fleet Week, it's a great show. I think the Angels are the best demonstration team in the service, even though I live where the Thunderbirds are headquartered.

    Flew with them on their c-130 the other day while they were out at Scott, great people. Definitely know how to put on a good show.

    Wow I guess nobody cares for the Angels? Gees if it aint about pussy I guess it pretty much dies here:mad: well anyways Corey I got a couple shots of the C-130 but I used zoom and it got real grainy and out of focus. That plane actually is a kick to watch-very agile for its size and fast too! When it first came in it was balls out and it looked to be doing like 500mph, What is the speed ability on this plane?

    I don't need to go fast- I can stay in one spot....That gets me "lives saved" instead of "photos taken"
