Down at the far end of the runway I saw a huge cloud of white smoke, and I knew that we weren't electing a new Pope. To no one I said, "It is going to get very noisy now."

Sure enough, here came the US Navy Blue Angels, still flying F/A-18 Super Hornets. As usual, they fly in two elements; four to demonstrate formation flying and stunts, with two others to show off other maneuvers.
