Modern Marvels? The men and women that serve unselfishly to protect us. There are Angels among us.

Yup, being from Pensacola, I used to run around with a bunch of the Blue Angels' flight team back in my younger days.  The CO at the time saw so much of me at the hangar, he finally fitted me up in a flight suit and put me aboard Fat Albert for a few of the home airshows.  A C-130 with Jato is an awesomely wild ride, believe me.  It was fun watching them transition from the A-4F's to the FA-18's.  The flight mechanics changed the steering and elevator limits to a point where McDonnell Douglas told them the plane wouldn't fly, yet they still did.  Wonder any of the 1986-87 team is still alive!  LOL!
