The Navy Blue Angels performed over Lake Erie over the weekend; we drove out there yesterday with Cookie to check them out (Mojo bailed out, opting to hang with his grandparents instead).
Them jets is loud!
We got ourselves some cheap seats (free) outside the airfield on an embankment off the E. 9th Street exit of Route 2 -- we sat in the grass and watched some wacky aerobatics. Most cool: watching one jet finish a maneuver and head, flat-out, toward the open lake edging in and out of supersonic speed, getting that wacky vapor-bubble jets get when they break the sound barrier... No idea what the technical term is for that, but I found a web page describing it, so here comes the science.
Right now it's back to work... Wonder what Frylock is doing at Blackouts this afternoon?
