Awesome video. Of course, he's using the best photography gear (I love starting brand wars).

Thank you, and you're very welcome.
And just in case you're into such things, that was your 2000th post.   :D

Let's not be short sighted. It would be cool and an honor to be part of a team in any of the United States Armed Forces.

Unbelievable. Obviously, you two just don't understand service wars. We're not serious. We just like to pull each others chains. I'm sure if some Zoomie came along and saw this thread, he'd make some crack about the Navy. Folks need to lighten up around here. Maybe, you just shouldn't criticize what you don't understand.

Chill out Doc, it's all good man. I've taken nothing seriously here, and have not been offended by anybody or anything.
As a flag waving Patriot, I was giving a 'virtual internet high five' to geowak for his Patriotic comment.
It's all good Brother.   :thumb:

Bob

p.s. I've taken more photos of the Blue Angles that I have the T-birds. So there. Happy now?  :icon_twisted: :lol:

There are two kinds of people in the Air Force. 

Those that fly the planes and those that clean the planes.    :icon_twisted:

No need to take offense or think the comment was from someone who does not understand the military. Retired after 25 years in the Army.
I do know about service wars, and yes I made my fair share of jokes. Really just trying to point out that all of service people deserve some honor, of sorts. That was it really... The photographer in the video reminds me of everything that is great about the US military, not just the Air Force. Lets face it, none of the branches could do it on their own...without the other ones.

Thanks Bob.
Definitely Cool Job.

I have lived near Annapolis and in Colorado Springs.

Worked at the Air Academy for a time and used to go to the air show every year at Andrews. Cool thing about that show is that it features aircraft of all DENOMINATIONS.  :lol:

We bought a used car just before moving to Colorado Springs that had a BIG US Naval Academy sticker on the back window. I got a lot of grief about that at the gate to the Air Force Academy. :duh:

Note: Good One Doc. Keep us on our toes. That was your job I'm guessing!! :thumb:

The P.A. system at a recent international collegiate engineering design competition.........

"Attention in the paddock!  Attention in the paddock!

The U.S. Air Force Academy, in paddock #32, needs a joystick.  If your team has an extra joystick please take it to the Air Force team.

They've broken theirs and can't get home without it!

This announcement is brought to you by the U.S. Naval Academy!"

True story!    :lol:
