This was probably one of the best days of my life though it was very tough to grab a photo when half the time I was grabing for my life. I was fortunate to fly on Fat Albert the transport plane for the Blue Angels on their test run for the opening act. I could no believe that a plane like this can fly up verticaly and the make you feel like you are floating... My god I thought I was going to puke and die at the same time they took me on a high speed turn 60ft from the water and going over 400mph over and under the golden gate bridge (trust me we where going so fast I could not take a photo) an experience I would never forget for sure. here are a few photos I did get off.
