We were about an hours drive away from Naval Air Station Pensacola, & we going to visit the IMAX cinema in the Navy Museum but found out that the Blue Angels did a Practice Display on Tuesday & Wednesday mornings at 08.30am so we went on the Wednesday as the pilots come into the museum on Wednesday's to meet the public.
The temperature that day at 08.30am was 108F which was too hot for me but i wanted photo's so i braved it out & it paid off for me.

On Sunday 29/03/09 I was Invited to have a trip in a Chipmunk which was a lifelong ambition of mine.
Mr Stewart Smith saw some photo's I took of this particular Chipmunk a week previously on Pprune & made it known he was one of the pilots who flew it & invited me for a flight with him at Wickenby (EGNW) near Market Rasen Lincs.
The Chipmunk Reg was G-BWNK (Ex RAF WD390).
We had a local flight which between taking photo's I was able to fly the Chipmunk & what a nice aircraft to fly. I was in the front seat for this flight.
I had a smile on my face for quite a few days later & only wish I could fly in a Chipmunk more often.
