Yes I love to see the Blue Angels!!
My buddy was a civil service employee after Viet Nam. He was one of the airframe mechanics who serviced / rebuilt the Blue Angels F-18 Hornet. A few years ago he took me on to the Navy Base in S Diego where he worked for a behind-the scenes tour. Unbelievable to see one of those planes disassembled down to the air frame. They modify the fuel tank for prolonged inverted flight and replace the gun with a "smoke oil" tank.
