@just_mindy They absolutely expected the beach buzz. The Blues have done that for decades, and do it every single time they return to Pensacola from whatever show they were at last. It's just never low enough for the jet wash to blow things over. That was the unusual part.
@DeebsFLA The pass was lower than normal, and the Blues are looking into it. That said, everyone pissed off about it wasn't even there. The crowd absolutely loved it. We're proud of our Blues here in Pensacola!
@just_mindy It was more of a glorified practice ("Breakfast with the Blues") in prep for their air show on Pensacola Beach this weekend. The pass *was* extra low. I've lived in the Pensacola area for 40 years and *never* heard of that happening. So it is at least unusual.
@neontaster I'm local to Pensacola Beach, and the Blues regularly practice out there (and have for decades). However, that pass was *not* normal. They've released a statement that they're looking into why that pass went "below envelope," because that's not how they do things.
@spann Hey, is this an example of atmospheric gravity waves? I also really like the cloud iridescence. So different out here in Las Vegas as compared to our home in the FL Panhandle.
@EsotericCD Oh, man, I still hold TIE Fighter as my all-time favorite combat flight sim game. Is the TIE Defender ridiculous? Yes. Is it an absolute blast to fly? Also yes.
@rkylesmith@JonahDispatch I felt like the entire first hour of the 2nd one could have been cut with no issues. I otherwise agree that it was a great watch in IMAX. I don’t feel any great urge to see the third one, though.
@SouthernKeeks Y’all have great taste in movies! I was a kid when it came out, and my family went to see it at an actual drive-in theater. It’s one of my favorite childhood memories.
