Blue Angels: patriotic celebration of America that's fun for the whole family, or noise-polluting, climate-change-worsening, outdated abomination of the petro-military-industrial complex?

Mostly the latter. Also, dog-terrifying. My poor pups are already struggling as they practice right over our neighborhood and house.

The Blue Angels and Breitling teams are amazing. Air shows are great! They're once a year events. Not having an air show isn't going to stop the thousands of other sources of pollution that run non-stop, 365 days a year, it'll just be one less fun thing to do in our lives.

¿Por que no los dos?

Love the airshows. Yeah, it's sometime inconvenient but I can deal with it.
