Thanks, Kevin. That particular Omega has always been my favorite.
And Carbon Fiber makes everything look good.
You should see me in my CF pants. I can't move much....but damn, I look good.

N2K, You cannot go wrong with an Omega.
Personally, I believe they are among the best timepieces in the world. My father had a Seamaster that was given to him by his father that was given to me. I believe it was an early 1950's piece. It is still going strong today.
I bought the one I liked about 8 years ago....not the most expensive watch....but worth every penny....and my favorite.

When you have an opportunity, pull the trigger....it's a decision you will never regret, on a watch that you will never tire of owning or wearing that you will have for the rest of your life.
It's an XM.....of the watch world....
 
Yep...it's off topic for this thread and I've posted at least 2 of those photos in the past but...if "you" ever get a chance to see any of these skilled aviators put on a show...Go! And VIP areas provide for awesome photos/experience. I was bummed when they grounded these birds.
 
Im lucky, I get to see them practicing by my house a lot. I live pretty close to Jacksonville NAS.

Agreed. Cleveland is a regular stop rotating between the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds on a yearly basis for the Labor Day weekend festivities. I have attended the actual shows but we have also watched them from the roof of our facility on Thursday and Friday when they practice which is an interesting view since they come very close to it at times during their display. We have also worked with having them do flyovers at times which is also a treat. What those guys do seems impossible.

Their flyovers are great. I was at an opening day game a few years back and have experienced flyovers in the past by other units, but the Blue Angles do a flyover and you feel like you could have reached up and touched them. Their flyovers are at a much lower altitude than others. Very cool experience. To top it off they came from behind me so it was even a bigger surprise than normal.

They have a way of doing that (come from behind), so you typically can't see or hear them approaching. We have had flyovers from carriers and helicopters as well which are all cool, but nothing like the Blue Angels.
