Blue Angels in the House

[numbskull]

35, maybe 40 years ago, while plugging in the closed area behind Nomans we were a bit slow leaving the fish despite a Huey coptor hovering overhead waving us to get out of there. They pulled away, 3 dots on the horizon appeared coming from Quonset, grew quickly, two veered off and the third......well KAAAAAAAABBBBBOOOOOOOOOM a F111 streaked over us about 100 feet up with afterburners on (or so it seemed at the time). Talk about getting buzzed. It blotted out the sun, shook the entire boat, and turned us to jelly. We moved out of there fast, really fast. The guys in the copter must have had a good laugh.

Wifes cousin was second in charge at Quonsett before he passed away 5 years or so ago. He was in charge of the Airshow, and we had fun when we went. Met the Thunderbirds once and the Blue Angels another time in the briefing room.
