Growing up in the fifties in a Air Force family was a treat. We were stationed at Tyndall in Panama City,Florida. Every weekday day it seemed there were sonic booms. Plaster falling and windows shaking. At airshows F-104's at the time would perform supersonic flybys at 500 feet followed by max performance climbs. BOOM! Now how cool was that?
We had a dog and cat. No big deal

A woman has files suit against the Blue Angles for " state-sanctioned acoustic torture" of her cat.

The cat doesn't have standing. Case dismissed.

I miss my childhood, where sonic booms were common, B-52s made low level runs over the farm, T-37 Tweets were constantly passing over the VOR on the neighor's farm

Back in the day (mid '50's) Texas Gulf coast, we had B-58 "Hustlers" rattle our windows occasionally. We'd run to the windows and look for a mushroom cloud. Dumb kids.

Shreveport Road. I could see the golf course from that 2 story pre-WW2 base house.

What an absolutely stupid lawsuit and giant waste of everybody's time. This lady needs to get a grip. It was a flipping 14 year old cat.

That's relatively athletic for that age!

I guess in this case....
P**** is defeated

(Insert CSI gif here)

Today's reminder that liberals aren't serious people.

That is so fake, at that altitude the cat would need O2

I was born on Barksdale. In 78.

Good year, my daughter was born there in '84.

Sure, it's loud but being able to see the Blue Angels from my living room window is pretty sweet.

Mine included B-36s. Now that was some noise, called the 'sound of freedom'.

I saw the Blue Angles once. They were all right.

When I was a kid, my Dad flew F-4 Phantoms.

Every so often, some little old lady would call the base commander and complain about the jet noise.

Standard answer was, "Lady , that's the sound of freedom"

Click.

Marines generally don't give a *****

Especially in the 70's.

The F-4s provided one of my most memorable air show moments in my lifetime. The old Carswell had air shows and being on old Vietnam vet, I made many of them. In one instance, they had planted some pyrotechnics between the runways and two Phantoms came screaming in over the lake doing a low level bombing run. When the explosives went off, they went near vertical and poured on the coal. Car alarms started going off all over the parking lot. It was amazing!!!

Did she file a suit against antifa or blm for the riots?

You know, fireworks scare my dog.... Karen : SUE THE CITY.

Try living on Cherry Hill (IIRC) on Elmendorf AFB during the early 80s, and being at the end of the flightline runway when F4s or F15s would take off on a scramble, hitting their afterburners, windows and china hutches shaking.

I live in Corpus Christi and the Blue Angles visir regularly. If I happen to be home when they do a practice flyover of my house, I run around yelling and throwing my hands up like it's the end of the world just to f___ with my dogs.

Saw the Blue Angels two weeks ago in Pensacola. We were on the beach, they flew parallel to the beach in front of us, about 400-600 feet away. I was disappointed how "un"-loud they were. I guess they're ordered to go soft in that situation.

---

there have been some great pics coming from a photographer that was on the pier during one of the shows.

Nonsense. Have you seen the one of the cat flying over Kyle Field?

She should move to Cuba or Russia/

Seattle cat-lady probably just wanted a free replacement cat.

Play the Star-Spaniel Banner louder.

Another Angle on the Angles.

The Airshow Climate Action Coalition put up a billboard in Seattle this week declaring, "Say No to Blue Angels." The coalition, made up of members from local climate groups as well as the radical global climate group, Extinction Rebellion, is planning to march and hold a rally on August 2 in protest of the Blue Angels airshow that weekend.
