Vacation Part 3: Blue Angels

I really had to cut down on the B.A. pics.  We took so many b/c it was truly awesome to see.

currently this is C's favority plane--Fat Albert.  It's driven by Marines and carries equipment and techs to service the planes at shows.  It hadn't flown in Pensacola in over a month, so we were lucky. We got to go into the first one (that's retired). It's pretty big.












he was actually in the cockpit of a real Blue Angel here

us with the Boss of the B.A.s

inside the museum.  it was really cool.  they had tons of chopped off cockpits for kids to crawl in and lots of whole planes to read about (for older kids), a space and aeronautics section, lots of vintage planes, and some simulators (all of which C loved).  He could have stayed there for hours, but we were in a hurry to get on the road w/our 7 hr drive ahead of us.
