Air Show at WaterColor - video added

I wonder if some of these guys are the Max Mathews clan???

Along these same lines, I sure wish the Blue Angels would do a show down this way. I know Walton and Okaloosa counties are "Air Force country," but have y'all ever tried to get off Santa Rosa Island after a Blue Angels show at Pensacola Beach?" It's worse than any football traffic I've ever been in.

We had perfect "seats" for the show at Grayton Beach State. We had my son's 7th birthday party at one of the covered pavilions on the lake. After 2 hours of a tribute to Pirate's of the Caribbean, complete with a buried treasure hunt after we found a map in a mysterious looking bottle floating in the lake on a kayak trip to "Tortuga", we were treated to an incredible air show. Later on the way home my son asked "Dad are you glad we could afford all that cool stuff like the treasure hunt and the kayaks and the stunt planes for my birthday?" I said I sure was, I wanted his party to extra special!;-)

I just checked their schedule and they are doing a show in Huntsville on June 28. That's only a two-hour drive for me. I'm there!

I thought the air show was in conjunction with a large group that is at WaterColor for about three days.

I also saw a really, really fancy shiny black helicopter flying over the beach, yesterday, before the acrobatics started.

I just saw the green plane from yesterday's show heading East by Gulfplace. Maybe we'll get an encore presentation!

When the Blue Angels are practicing in Pensacola, you can often get a pretty good view of the practice from Big Lagoon State Park just west of NAS Pensacola.

This just in:No more stunt plane shows at Seaside. It turns out that several of the homeowners complained to the FAA regarding violation of their airspace. On the agenda for the next HOA meeting will be the formation of an exploratory commitee to procure barrage blimps to tether along the beach embossed with the phrase 'go away'.

In a rare display of cooperation, Watercolor has agreed to chip in funds if the blimp purchase is agreed to as there was an unfortunate exacerbation of the dog living above the former Cerulean's irritable bowel syndrome due to the engine noise.

Rosemary Beach has declined to participate in such unfriendly behavior, however they have instructed the security guards posted at all their beach access points to open fire on any aircraft felt to potentially attract gawkers from Seacrest Beach.

You rock!

We need a post hall-of-fame!

I wonder if The Watcher called Code Enforcement on all the people watching the free show?

I second that!!!

Plus, any LSU fan is a friend of mine.:roll:

Very good skunky. :funn:

The airshow was for a YPO group out of Texas. They rented the entire INN at Watercolor and have many activities that are planned for them. The airshow being one of them. I know this because my beach service is in Watercolor and everyone had to get out of the water for an hour or so so the planes could perform.

Cheers!

what is YPO?

what is YPO?

Youth Presbyterian Organization?

Not sure, but it's probably some sort of church group.

Young pilots organization?

It is a group called Young Presidents Organization. They have been in WC for 3 days, today being their last. It is a group of fortune 500 company ceo's, execs, etc.

This is their last night and there will be a fireworks display at 9PM I think off the beach in front of WC.

You're telling me that a large group of YOUNG fortune 500 CEO's has been in my neighborhood for days? :leaving:

It was grayt, floating in the pool at WaterColor and watching the plans almost crash. The tourists where all excited that they knew about Eglin (that army base nearby :funn.

:scratch:...what is your secret?

I heard they were in town- something like a Dad/kid weekend for the Dallas chapter. They must pay some serious chapter dues to get an air show!

forget the cost of the airshow. To rent out the entire WaterColor Inn sounds more expensive.

I Love Them!

Hey,

Sometimes they wake me up in the morning, and that is when I know that I should already be up; they are like my alarm clock when I am sleeping too late and being lazy. Thanks for the alarm clock and the Air Show!

Peace now!
