As a child I saw the Blue Angels perform at Miramar. They were flying F-4Js and I was awed.

Later in San Francisco I found them in their F/A-18s to be supremely annoying. Hotdogging under bridges and between buildings, buzzing the Presidio, setting off car alarms and terrifying pets.

Possibly it was me. At a time of life when things were not well. I'm sure they were still awesome.
