re: #337 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

I agree with you - the F-18 show just isn’t the same. I have fond memories of the Skyhawks. Last year I visited the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. They have a display of the Blue Angels A-4s, three of which were used in the 1984 season (the last A-4 show I remember seeing). Seeing them on display was like seeing old friends again after thirty years. The last time I saw these planes, I was five and they were doing rolls and loops over my head:
