I work in the NBC Tower in Chicago, and 4 F-18s are flying around out side, making a lot of noise.
They are the Blue Angels, rehearsing for the Chicago Air and Water show tomorrow , and appear to be flying awfully close to the buildings below.

Do you guys alternate every year between the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds? I believe that's what happens here.

A couple of weeks back was the Moffet Air Show. I work about 5 miles south. We were distracted for a while on the friday before the show by the F-18E SuperHornet practicing his demo. Good stuff.

THunderbirds are better, but I'd love to have either of them practice near my house year round.

I like the thunderbirds because I like the f-16 more than the f-18. But they never seem to come down to florida.

I've always thought Blue Angels were better because the Navy had better pilots than the Air Force. I suppose it's all pretty subjective though.
