City: Madison State: Alabama | Blue Angels In my Backyard
There's an Airshow this weekend here for Blue Angels & Golden Knights. I had to come home early from work, and they're practicing in our backyard. We watched some really cool crap before I thought to grab the camera.
So here's just a couple. And it's sooo loud, sounds like planes are about to crash into our house..

State: Oregon | Thanks for the vids. I grew up next to an airport. That was well before video cameras, but I have in my biological RAM a host of scenes and sounds. And while the planes can be loud, I find the neighbors fleet of little yappers more annoying....

City: Jacksonville State: Florida | I love the blue angels. Every November here in Jacksonville, the naval air station hosts a land, sea and air show. The blue angels are always part of it and we love going and seeing them. |

State: North | In another life I think my DH would have been in the military. We used to go to the air shows at Andrews AFB and back then I just thought it was loud and hot!
Now I live way out in the country and when I hear a jet flying over/near my house it is really cool! I think I miss airplanes flying and city and life and light! I think if the Blue Angels flew over my house and my DH was home he would have wet his pants! | |

City: Someplace near Indianapolis State: Indiana | Reminds me of when I was younger we would go park near the International airport (On top of a parking garage) And watch and listen to the planes. At night the garage was mostly empty! Growing up we lived in a very small farming town near a base and used to watch the jets do manuvers often!! Lots of times they would practice at night dropping flares and such. Was such a fun things for us kids to watch. Many times we would hear the jets coming long before they could be seen and we would run to the road (No trees) to watch them fly over.

City: Niceville State: FL | The Blue Angels are awesome, although being an AF wife, I prefer the Thunderbirds :)
Jet noise, the sound of freedom!

City: Madison State: Alabama | We live next to the airport, which is why theyre in our backyard.. We also live near train tracks, I have anxiety that planes or trains are going to crash into our house at any moment!!
Its the Blue Angels & Golden Knights performing, but I thought it was cool to watch :o)
Today's show starts soon, I helped set up our company's booth but watching it from home today. Going to the actual show tomorrow.

City: Williamstown State: West Virginia | Planes scare me, I've always been scared of them, the train tracks are about as close as the airport too, but the train can't crash into my house like an airplane can. The other day I heard this HUGEE HUGE HUGGGGGE roaring, starting to come towards the house, 3 huge helicopters flew righhhhhhhht over top of it. Shit scares me LOL | |
