Although Seafair in Seattle is an annual event that lasts three weeks, one of the premier events is always the Blue Angels Airshow. If you missed this weekend's Seafair Celebration on Lake Washington, I would encourage you to go next year.   It was a very impressive display of showmanship and there is nothing like being there to witness it in person. 

I won't spoil it for you but a lot of times a great performance is all in the presentation. Just when you think the show is over, the Blue Angels return for an encore that ups the ante even more than the first time. The air show is sandwiched between two heats of Hydroplace racing. This year's racing featured a flip by the "C-9" boat but the driver was pulled from the boat unhurt.

More action photos of the Keybank Blue Angels Air Show are on my website along with tips on where to park, activities for kids, food and spots for best viewing.
