Bummer News

I'm a small bit of an aviation buff. I love air shows and have taken my kids to some of them. One of my long-term dreams is to get my pilot's license. My in-laws live in Columbia, CA, on a hill that overlooks the Columbia Airport, a small airport by comparison. I'd love to fly my family in for a weekend some day.

Anyway, news today of a Blue Angels crash saddens me. I was at an air show at Camp Pendleton in 1984 or '85 where one of the planes crashed. Wasn't one of the featured groups like Blue Angels or Thunderbirds. An old war plane as I remember it.

Anyway, sad news.

Someday, I'll have to blog about my near-death experience in a helicopter over the Hollywood Freeway in 1985.....
