Would love to see the "Angels" in person someday...bet it was one amazing show to witness! Perfect timing and stop action and a thoroughly interesting b/g! Looks like Alcatraz had it's share of spectators for the show also. #9727492

I saw the Blue Angels many years ago and it still raises the hair on the back of my neck when I see pictures of them. Awesome capture Rony. #9728209
