I'm assuming Willit is at work, and made his last post during his lunch break; me, I have a few days off (Boo-ya!), and am still having my morning coffee ( ;D ), so I'm gonna be a jerk and go out of sequence.
 Corey, you get two in a row after this... I have stuff to do today, anyway.

I think we may have to have a battle when it comes to the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels shots, but for now, here's something else:The US Coast Guard sea rescue demo!!

First, the HU-25 Guardian (a Falcon, obviously) clears the area:

I thought I'd caught the entry of the diver into the water, but... ? Anyway, here's the flare being deployed:

Two HH-65 Dauphins making dual pickups at the same time; very well done!! I often see these around the NYC area; there are some based at the old Floyd Bennett Field.

HH-60 Jayhawk brings up the rear:
