'Bouncing'-THE BLUES!!!
With the 2008 Air Show season now in full-swing, thought this archive shot might be appropriate & of interest to fans...
Reno/Stead - Thurs. 9/14/00: Acting on an insider's tip for a really GREAT photo op- I scrambled around during the limited time I had available to try locating an optimum shooting location for capturing the opportune moment on film.
The USAF's famous- THUNDERBIRDS F-16 Jet Demonstration Team were travelling to their next scheduled show & wanted to pay a surprise visit to Stead Field, specifically to catch their USN counterparts- THE BLUE ANGELS' F-18s 'napping' grounded on the ramp between performances, with a formation 'bounce' & series of buzz passes. It was a totally successful sortie for the T-BIRDS, much to the delight of all present!
(Worked for me too!)
