Default A bit of British pride

The Blue Angels always come to San Francisco for Fleet Week, and are known for flying ?between the skyscrapers while practicing and performing. As you might guess, there are those who hate, and those who love their show-off ways. As long as they stay out of the buildings, I'm OK with it.
Don't like the sound of that. ?All it would take is for one of them to sneeze at the wrong moment and he'd be left with a heap of scrap metal and a pile of rubble.

This is a bit of interesting background on the Red Arrows . Tells you how it all works. ?Seems like they are in it for 3 years and each year 3 of the 9 pilots are changed out for fresh blood and return to normal duty. ?Bet they miss the glamour of it all, but at least they can sleep nights.
