If so, should be landing in Abby right about now.

It was a Blue Angel

Okay, that makes sense. Too bad the whole team didn't do an English Bay/Kits flyby.

That would've been cool. I knew they would do a flyby of the city but I thought it would've been the whole team.

I'm wondering now if it was a media flight - a lucky journalist getting to go for quite the ride.

Getting excited for the weekend?

Well, I am but kind of depressed now because with couple of other fellows, I got kicked out from the spot south of RWY07 where I watched practice last year. A guy dressed like a cop on white car with yellow stripe came up and told me to get out of the city's property or else I'll get charged.

I have no idea where we can spectate those practice and/or arrivals tomorrow, but does anybody here have any idea?


Thanks

This will be a bigger issue during the Blue Angels when the police will also be the ones kicking people out. Don’t expect to get away with parking on Huntington because the police will be making sure everyone is out of the area before the roadblock is set.

It sucks this harassment occurs but we need to understand that the jet demo teams have a strict policy and rules when it comes to locking down the show box.

I’m assuming you were in the yellow Mazda? I was in the Black Ford Escape beside you. Unfortunately I have no idea how tomorrow is going to go but I haven’t got a good feeling about it. The guy in the car was an Abbotsford by—law officer and he is right about being on city property. The raspberry field where we were parked today is actually city property and the land is rented from the city by berry farmers. Before we always told the police that we have permission from the owners of the berries to be there and most of the time they accepted that answer and went away because they didn’t know it was actually city property. But the guy today knows it’s city property and there’s no way to stay there if he’s around.
