That prop plane is named "Fat Albert" ... "The Blue Angels use a United States Marine Corps Lockheed C-130J Super Hercules, nicknamed "Fat Albert", for their logistics, carrying spare parts, equipment, and to carry support personnel between shows." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels . . .

Was your Daughter " gleeming" over these? Yeah...beautiful day...I was on the top of Twin Peaks. Warm and almost no wind. The day before the wind was howling. The 'princess' was not interested. I left her at home for a battery recharge day. We had a 8am soccer match this morning (Sunday). She played the entire 60 minutes (they won...now 4-0-2 for the season). Nice view from the top of the hill... Edited October 10, 2021 by lazarus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lantern Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 A small group of us used to go to Howorth to drink that just over 40 years ago, before it became popular/widespread. A real top drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pics as usual. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive desert base there. It was a combined arms exercise and there was a US Navy F-18 squadron as part of the air support. When the CAX was over and while we were still in the boonies, the skipper of the Navy F-18 squadron put on a one plane show for us. We were told he was a former Blue Angel pilot. Quite impressive and as he did not have as many restrictions he made some amazing low passes. Screaming by and some really cool vertical climbs. So cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forqalso Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 At the Marin Headlands area, near the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. My wife had just made it to America and we were seeing the sights I like this picture because of how accidentally and almost perfectly her arms line up with the landscape 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
