But maybe because I knew it was part of the festivities, I enjoyed it. <br /><br />Thanks, Geoff. Lucky sky Tuesday.<br /><br />I'd never seen it in person before, Adele, and to have it fly directly over me was thrilling. It looked much closer in my eyes than it does in the picture!<br /><br />Yep, PA, amazing what power they have in such a slim machine.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-28322673258726746042013-01-03T08:44:03.555-08:002013-01-03T08:44:03.555-08:00I've always marveled at the silhouette of thes...I've always marveled at the silhouette of these things.

I was at the parade right in the spot where it first appears, and it was so low and so fast that all I got was a black blotch in the lower right of my photo. My daughter was prepared in the press stands, but there was a distraction just as it came over.<br /><br />Fortunately, I told her, shots of the bomber are pretty generic and we can use last year's!Laura Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948802112179073414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-73794435697470780922013-01-02T18:58:58.957-08:002013-01-02T18:58:58.957-08:00Love your post, the sequence of waiting, then fina...Love your post, the sequence of waiting, then finally -- the Batplane!! :-)<br /><br />Kidding aside, it sounds exciting, great photo op.Ms Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960193596384417988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-77761086642248589542013-01-02T18:38:08.466-08:002013-01-02T18:38:08.466-08:00It's a cute kite, Karin, and you should stop t...It's a cute kite, Karin, and you should stop terrorizing Mister Earl with it.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-5517520587112673842013-01-02T16:39:51.053-08:002013-01-02T16:39:51.053-08:00It came right in front of my house and turned east...It came right in front of my house and turned east after the Rose Bowl flyover.

I do, too. Every few years or so, it will fly over the grandstand just before the start of the Indy 500. Approaching from the north, it looks like a black line with a bump in the middle. Then it's there, just over you, and "Swoosh" its past. A beautiful piece of machinery that could not fly at all if it weren't for the computers on board. It's odd beauty gives me a little tear in the eye.

He didn't think it was a real plane, and I can see why: It looked like one of those remote control planes you see flying along the cliffs at Huntington each, only bigger, or an origami paper plane.
