US Navy Blue Angels "Fat Albert" - Cambridge 28.07

[James Cutting]

After missing out on its departure as it delayed its launch until later in the afternoon, I was lucky enough to catch it return to Cambridge Airport yesterday evening. Thanks to all heads up here and on Facebook, chuffed to have seen this impressive beast before it heads home A lovely low pass before it broke round into the approach, a great surprise Enjoy.

Pity you weren't blessed with sunny skies as that second pic is a cracker.

Balls to the sunny skies, the atmosphere makes the shot in my opinion.

Was a shame as had been nice all day - but that pass made up for it, so I'll take it!! Thank you.
