So cool. I love to watch them, especially if I can see it from afar Working them, was no fun at all. Last one I worked, I actually had a guy, with a lit cigarette pondering the puddle of fluid on the ground and asking what it was And he got mad when I took his cigarette from him, until I explained that it was JET FUEL!

Individually, humans are pretty smart—but crowds are generally really stupid.

Did an air show in Lake Charles LA, during the grand finale, we had two Cat 5 storms hit at ground zero. We used a C-5 and C-141 as an emergency shelter. My crew picked up and delivered to the C-5 crew 85 abandoned kids. The upper deck of the C-5 was the kids sanctuary (aka lost and found). The kids loved it, as they all got a personal tour of the cockpit and got to hang out in the crew bedrooms. BTW, No one and no aircraft were hurt/damaged.

ETA: And my ground crew found it hilarious that I lost my voice.

DH used to do pyrotechnics for air shows years ago with the CAF. Lots of cool old planes and a number of stories, will try to send one of the pictures, some were pretty wild!

Long time before Katrina. My memory is a little spotty but I think we're talking 89ish.

I played with CAP and worked most of the LA Air Shows 86 through 90 when I got serious about college and girls. IN THAT ORDER! We might have met?!? Small world.
Same for you Ursaline.
