"Paging Rudy Wells...ah, shit. Never mind."

We the undersigned, ask that you join us in seeking a permanent halt to the annual strafing of the city by the Blue Angels, for the following reasons:

IMMEDIATE RISK TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: As the planes fly in extremely tight formations, the slightest error by a pilot or ground-based controller, a computer malfunction or aircraft mechanical trouble could spell disaster.
NOISE POLLUTION: When jet aircraft fly low over the city, the canyons of concrete, steel and glass magnify the noise to nerve-shattering levels that would bring arrests if it came from the civilian sector. It absolutely terrifies small children, the elderly, persons who have experienced war, and pets.
AIR POLLUTION: While we try to stem global climate change and avert its catastrophic consequences, the aircraft spew tons of toxic exhaust during their fly-overs.
FUEL WASTE: This is inexcusable, especially in a time of alleged under-supplies of crude oil and its byproducts.
WASTE OF TAXPAYERS DOLLARS: This, too, is unforgivable, especially in a time of federal deficit and precipitously mounting national debt.

Why did you leave out the source?

edit: BTW, they do their airshow around the former NAS Moffett Field down in Mountain View and Sunnyvale and not in the city of faggots. So the petition is pointless. None of the demonstration flying occurs near San Fagsissyco.

At fleet week every year they fly in formation under the Golden Gate Bridge. Sure, it's on a Saturday, but I'm guessing one wrong move by one of the pilots could result in the death of about 100 people on the structure as well as make an already hideous Bay Area commute even more nauseating for a year or so while they repair the bridge.

Additionally, they have to make u-turns somewhere for their next flyover and the waterway isn't that wide. They're flying over the city at some point.

The Blue Angels have been used for years as a recruiting tool. But haven't we as adults and our two-second attention span kids gotten over the "OOOOOOoooohhh...jets!" phase long, long ago?

They are not flying over the actual city of San Fran at ANY point. They will fly over land mass somewhere well south and at a much higher altitude. Flying basic form is common in about well... every fucking town that has a military airbase by any air squadron.

Any time we carried external ordnance out of Moffett we flew over water and over the various bay bridges all the way out to the Pacific.

The air show at Moffett is over a very densely populated area but ALL manuevers from every air show act including the Blues is designed to where if there was a collision then the damage didn't spray the crowd at the show.... unlike the Paris Air Show from way back.

why does the military insist on competing with circus acts.

doing death dyfying acts often times leads to death. as for shock, i'm only shocked that there is not more accidents.

Have you ever heard of this concept called "recruiting?" If so, then connect the dots.

I saw a Blue Angel death in person when I was 11 - at the Niagara Falls Airport. Two planes clipped wings at high altitude. One lone chute fell to Earth.

List of Dangerous Occupations:

1. Blue Angel
2. Iraqi
3. Rolling in Douchebag's stupid crew

you mean watching jets crash is a recruiting. cool.

where do i sign up?

You're right... I am dangerous, Ice... Man.

Flight demonstration teams lose a plane every other airshow. Just ask PL and those homo's in San Fagsissyroo that have that petition going. The sky is falling.

Look dude, flying is dangerous no matter what you are in. Hornets are especially dangerous due to their designed instability for maneuverability but controlled by the flux capacitor computers "flight control system."

They don't have accidents as often as you are led to believe. Different strokes.

Absolute total bullshit!!

The Blue Angels annually terrorize the City, flying directly over it for two days of the actual show, plus a couple days of practice during the preceding week. While the tricks are performed over the Bay, the jets are howling right over the entire city for hours as they regroup, etc.

And really, what is the point? To terrify civilian populations? I hate the motherfuckers and their hotdog military cowboy bullshit. And I really hope this latest fuckup sounds the death knoll for this jingoistic propaganda network.

Absolute total shit troll!!

Drowny Drowny!

Oh okay, so they don't do any icy hot stuntaz over the city itself. Okay, I'll give you that. You DO know SFO international departures also fliy over the city itself right? Ummm provide me actual pics next time they roll through the Bay Area and show me pics of them flying lower than the FAA's FAR requirements in the airspace. I know you don't understand that but just provide me proof that they are flying where they shouldn't be.

Bottom line faggot... you need a crashing Blues tattoo.

Of course, LTS is also scared by Macy's Turkey Day Parade balloons as well.

Holy fucking god, grow some fucking balls dude. Do you clench your vagina with both hands as you scamper to the little girls room? Is there anything you're not afraid of you pathetic, literary-thieving sack of shit? What purpose do you even serve being alive? You're of no use to anything.

RACK the Blue Angels.


I say keep them funded just so they can terrorize San Fransuckdick every fucking year for a couple of days.

LOWER AND LOUDER!


Shit....just the thought of this makes me want to go play GTA San Andreas and start strafing all the faries in Queens with that Hawker Hurricane jet

Rack that post and the Blue Angels!

Here is what I just put in the petition:

GET A LIFE LIBERAL LOSERS!

The Blue Angels are quite possibly the greatest show in the air and provide awe-inspiring maneuvers and demonstrations. Just because YOU are not an airplane enthusiast doesn't mean we all have to suffer without the Blue Angels.

Again, find something else to petition about because this is pointless.

Go tie yourself to a railroad track.

Libs piss me off especially with their mundane arguments and how "offended" they get to everything right wing.

You mean like how any criticism of the war in Iraq is rejected by the liberals in Washington as being anti-troops and defeatist?
