I don't see their appeal. You can ban them. As well as the flyovers at sporting events by the Blue Angels, too. Seems like a waste of my taxpayer dollars.

And they scare the shit out of me when they do it at Levi because they fly too close to my office :Cry:

Air shows and off road races regularly kill participants and spectators.

That is the appeal. There is a reason there are no massive events scheduled for feeding ducks on a pond. The reason people fly those types of aircraft, performing dangerous stunts is because it's exciting. And people watch that shit up close and personal, because that excites them.

No matter how long a person lives, if they feel good, they want to have fun. People should get to choose if they want to live an exciting or a boring life without someone completely removed from the subject butting in.

It's cool you recognize the dangers. It's fine you don't want that risk in your life. Let me ride the wave. If I die doing it, that's on me. Trust me. I knew it when I jumped in the water.

Or take the restrictor plates off and let them kill each other as God intended before NASCAR stepped in to save them.
 
Just kidding. I didn’t mean that.

But fuck you :tongue:

I don’t get the reference. Sounds irrelevant. Like your opinion.

Aikman: “That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover.”
Buck: “That’s your hard-earned money and your tax dollars at work.”
Aikman: “That stuff ain’t happening with [a] Kamala-Biden ticket, I’ll tell you that right now partner.”

The NFL (or which ever league) pays for it. It's basically advertising/hype for the military.

The Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, and Red Arrows (Britain) are awesome to see.

Exactly. Shut up and let people have fun. Don't like it? Don't go or watch, simple as that.

I went to a Blue Angels show when I was in junior high or something. Kind of an overcast day that warmed up so I rolled my shorts up to get more sun on my legs. That whole summer, I looked like I was wearing thigh high tan pantyhose. So fuck the Blue Angels.
 
Atleast ban Harrison Ford from flying in them.

Anyone considering jokingly responding "Pics or GTFO" should note the bolded before doing so. And it could be dangerous to assume that the "or something" part will keep you out of trouble.
 
They released the names of the deceased. 18 months for a full investigation.

Blame the sun not the Blue Angels.

And stay the F away from tanning beds.
