Okay, just curious, flotus flies solo to France the n back and forth so she doesn't miss Judge Judy, or what the judge's name is. Do we the taxpayer cover that do do the Biden's kick in a few bucks for gas?

Glad to hear that their show is improving. When they appeared at Willow Grove, the year after the Angels, it was not nearly as impressive. (This was 2001 & 2002, IIRC.)

I'm a big USAF fan and know your ex Navy and the Blue Angels alone with big twin engine fighters and really pro
tight routine prob will always be a bit better..
T-Birds seemed to come to a head about 4-5 years ago when they did Europe stop and even US Mil fans over there
held there noses. They would fly out and disappear from the showbox often for minutes at a time and music blaring and announcer stalling for time.
The choreography was getting real bad..
Saw much better today on the vid as they kept it really hopping as should be..
Even a sneak from behind 4 jet pass.. Come to think of it saw the Angels do that in Atlantic City 20 years ago
They will be back again Sunday afternoon live on the U tube.
