Default Baltimore Sailabration of the War of 1812

Had a nice trip to Baltimore for the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 and the Star Spangled Banner. Went to Ft McHenry first. Had a great view of the tall and other ships in the Inner Harbor from our hotel room and also of the Blue Angels performance over Ft McHenry. They flew above/past our room quite a few times. Went to the aquarium, but unfortunately, most of those pics (through water of fish, etc) didn't come out well. Enjoy...

Thanks Deb for starting this post ..... Seems that Citadel Grads are everywhere these days (even as Commander of the Blue Angels) and I such I received a copy of the attached photos of last weekend's practice/performance over Baltimore.

....For the record it wasn’t the pilot shooting the pics, the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds both have a 2 seat trainer aircraft which they use to give VIP/media rides. They use it on some of the practice runs with a PA person in the back seat shooting still and video.

Enjoy

As I have posted before I have written to both my Congressman and to the Blue Angels requesting a ride in the 2 Seat plane if they have an opening. I stated that I would go anywhere at anytime at my expense to do so. I never heard back from either one of them. In the end I realize that my mistake was not including a check to my Congressman.
