Not a post about my 4th grade girls' basketball team, but their namesake, the real Navy pilots.
Was saddened to see on local news tonight that all of their shows this year have been canceled due to budget cuts. As anyone who has seen them fly before will attest, it is a spectacular show and sight to see. The show they do annually over Pensacola Beach is amazing. It is an honor for the pilots to be chosen, and is an effective marketing tool to attract people to the Navy throughout the country.
We make a point every time we are in Pensacola for a trip, which is probably once a year, to go to the base on Wedneasday morning and watch them practice their show. It gets the day started off early, and is an incredible thrill to see the skill and teamwork of these fine pilots. I think I heard that they will continue to practice-at least, I hope they do-but for now, there will be no more shows. Very saddened to hear.
