This international parade of ships is just one part of the national launch of the Bicentennial of the War of and the writing of the Star-Spangled Banner, our National Anthem.

Quite an exciting way to start the show. Spectacular Air Show. Following the excitement provided by the Navy Seals, the air show began with a flyover of F Super Hornets and continued with various air craft from the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard.
The stars of the show were the six Blue Angels demonstrating the tight precision flying of their Fs - often only 18" apart and traveling at speeds of nearly mph and as slow as mph. During their aerobatic demonstration, the Blue Angels split into their famous 'diamond formation' Blue Angels 1 through 4 and the Lead and Opposing Solos Blue Angels 5 and 6.
Most of the show alternates between the Diamond Formation and those performed by the Solos. The Solos really showcase the high performance capabilities of the F through the execution of high-speed passes, slow passes, fast rolls, slow rolls, and very tight turns.

The wait for dinner was over two hours for those that did not make reservations as we had. Notes for the Photographer. Here are a couple of images that the Navy has released of the Blue Angels over Baltimore. The days of art school assignments fulfilled by lugging bulky, metal-bodies cameras with manual focus and no optical zoom are behind us. Even though many of us loved every minute of it, and secretly, the smell of Kodak developer, the convenience of having an iPhone 4 in your pocket is invaluable.
Better still is the gratification of sharing those photos immediately around the web. Interest in re-creating battle scenes and collecting relics of war is nothing new.
