[MilCom] Pensacola Beach Airshow /Blue Angels

[Joe Cobb]

The Pensacola Beach airshow was better this year than
last due to the addition of the F-16 West Coast Demo. 
They could still add a few more military flybys and
drop some of the civilain !@#$&^%*.  Especially that
boring Widgeon.  He doesn't even do a splash and go. 
Boooooooring!!!

The Blues were awesome as always.  Viper West
absolutely rocked.  Matter of fact on Saturday he
called his spotter on 376.025 and asked about time
remaining.  Spotter responded "we have a few more
minutes left but you have already exceeded the
narration".  He added a few unannounced maneuvers then
departed.   I loved all the vapor associated with
water shows.
