Virginia Beach Flypast

Norfolk is a centre of the United States Navy. We could see ships, possibly a carrier, out at sea. Curiously my brother and I have made a habit of visiting US Military installations. Corpus Christi and Waikiki ( pearl harbour)
The jets would fly low, over the beach. The noise was amazing. I remember the fly past at the UNC-CH game. I was determined to catch them on camera, but they were just two fast.

I saw, 4 jets in formation. There were also Helicopters and Military transports

On sunday a  P51 flew over the beach, accompanied by jet powered descendent there was an Air show.

I miss the blue skies, and the flying machines that crossed them

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it.

It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
