Luftakrobaten, wunderschön.
Ich liebe das, Luftakrobaten! Genau das sind sie 🛦🛦
The photos of jets flying in the sky and creating artistic designs – exciting and exhilarating! The combination of speed, precision, and artistic flair in your images is impressive. Always a joy to stop by!
Awww Rebecca, you are such a lovely and thoughtful person. The joy is mutual my friend. Thank you very much & be safe and well my friend 🛦🛦
It is looking great when they do it for training purposes and for viewers fun. However, somewhere in the World these pictures make horrible feeling…
Sorry, Cindy. I had today conversation with person from Ukraine. Probably, I am wrong leaving this comment on such a nice post. Sorry!
Of course you are not wrong. Thank you for your sensitivity Alexander. We need more people in this world like you. We live in a sad and scary world where aggressors harm the innocent and it is terrible.
Yes, art in the sky. Good shots!
Thanks much & cheers! 🛦🛦
So amazingly cool
They are very cool & competent! 🛦🛦
Very cool!
Amazing aren’t they! 🛦🛦
Are these the Blue Angels? I miss seeing them in Seattle. Your pictures brought back happy memories. Thank you!
I don’t know who was flying or from where. There is a lot of military practice activity in this deserted desert region. I see lots of interesting things. There was also some exercise on the ground that I bungled into. Sometimes, Blue Angels and Thunderbirds fly together. See: https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/2024-02-25/blue-angels-thunderbirds-joint-training-13115268.html
Jets definitely make art in the sky! Thanks for capturing these photos.
Thank you for appreciating them Jennie & take good care 🛦🛦
You are welcome, Cindy. Best to you.
The best part for pilots for sure. You seem well protected.
Yes. On both points 🛦🛦
Splendid contrails, Cindy. The do send the imagination flying. Hugs!
Smiling…. They do indeed. I can see the jets in your hulabalu lulu Teagan 🛦🛦
How fun! Glad you managed to capture to capture some of the designs in the sky.
There is always something happening in the deserted desert!! I love it 🛦🛦
Do these Display teams have a name. In the UK they are known as the red arrows.
I am not sure who they were. Most like the Navy’s Blue Angels, but possibly the Air Force Thunderbirds, or even some other squadron. There is a lot of practice going on over the deserted desert 🛦🛦
I remember being by a large river and watching the ‘Jets’ practice for the next day. I attempted to get some ‘shot’s too – I asked about the one where only three where in the sky. I think a Vet answered that they were practicing for the ‘lost’ member…
Oh yes. So moving. Take good care Jules 🛦🛦
The planes I saw – I didn’t really see ‘shapes’ per se. But it was fun to watch – and the noise! Boom!
🛦🛦
Looks like fun!
Smiling 🛦🛦
~applause~ Absolutely awesome!
Aww….. Thank you & they are! 🛦🛦
How great is this!!!1
Smiling….. Mercie beaucoup mon Ami 🛦🛦
Gorgeous shots, Cindy! A free show?
Yes!!! Thank you Terri & cheers my friend 🛦🛦
We used to see the practice flights of the blue angels or thunderbirds from our former Sacramento backyard. I used to joke I could see the whites of their eyes as they flew past! 😂
Yes. It is thrilling, and LOUD!
Fun pictures
Happy you enjoyed & cheers 🛦🛦
Wow! Beautiful!
Very pleased you enjoyed & thanks very much! 🛦🛦
And the perfect sky to capture their art in! Nicely captured, Cindy.
Thank you Dale & cheers to you my friend 🛦🛦
💞
Great pictures. The Sonoran is only one of the deserts I’ve lived in over the years…
I am sure you have many fascinating tales to tell. It is an epic desert with so much amazing life 🛦🛦
Wow! How fun it can be 🙂
A bit of adrenalin kick when you go to work each day! 🛦🛦
Cool pictures! Love all your pictures, Cindy.
So nice of you! Thanks much Michele & be well my friend 🛦🛦
They’re artists. Great pictures Cindy😺😺Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead🐾😽💞
Happy Week to you and yours my friend & thanks much for stopping by 🛦🛦
Impressive. Was that Air Force?
I think it is Navy. Although both are impressive, I agree. Hope all is well with you 🛦🛦
Very. Impressive. In France it’s a special squad, called “la patrouille de France”, France Patrol. They “report” to the Air Force.
All well thank you. (You too I hope)
For a week at the country house. Feeding the humming birds with success… 😉
Some fun, Cindy! Thanks.
Cheers Curt & pleased you enjoyed 🛦🛦
Good ones! 👏👏
Thanks John & cheers 🛦🛦
What a fun way to practice and hone their flying skills! Was trying to visualise myself as a pilot…can’t drive a car 🚗 so…😅 Tries my hand ar a car parking game recently…never pranged up so many cars and lorries 🚚 ever!! Reversed onto walls…smashed into parked cars…overshot bendy bits and crashed into more walls 🧱😳 It was a slow game of skills requiring 2 hands to maneuver and I was useless at co-ordinating my hands at the same time! It is terrifying to think what might have happened if I’d been piloting a plane😂Greatest respect to those guys out there in those planes!
You crack me up! I suspect you make take it a bit more seriously if you were in an actual car.f I remember playing car racing video games with my son when he was young. I would drive my car off course, quitting the race, and exploring the countryside. I was always disappointed that the game developers didn’t have more on offer for odd ducks like me who like to drive off course. We are like minded spirits. I would play that game with you and see who could crash more! 🛦🛦
But Cindy! I was taking it very seriously!🤣 That’s the scary bit! Imagine if I hadn’t been😂Racing cars…oooh no! You wouldn’t want to see my efforts at steering in that situation! There is a reason why I gave up learning to drive many moons ago🤣But I totally get the off-course driving 🚗 😄 Exploring the countryside is far more fun than a boring race-track😁😉 I do have a great horse 🐎 riding game 🎮 with lovely realistic horses that allows for some awesome countryside exploration, outside of the eventing and everyday mundane stuff 😀 I “steer” the horses very well and have no problem “parking” them!! And how about you?😆
I am so sorry to admit that even though I did ride horses as a kid, I was ineffectual at getting them to do anything beyond what they wanted to do. Just like me and my cat Herbert. I was just along for the ride. I could never park a horse, I was much better with cars, not taking into account any car accidents I may have been involved in, which of course, were never my fault.
Thank you for making me smile and be well.
That’s most unfortunate – not being able to park a horse 😉😅 But it seems to me that a huge amount of skill is required in the parking of a car! So congratulations 🎊 And of course any accidents that may and may not have occurred were never your fault 🤣 It’s certainly not your problem if other people have no idea how to drive! 😂
“Herbert…” Love name for your cat 🐈 😀
Thank you, again, for the smiles. It is much easier to sort life when nothing is your fault. Herbert is, a well named cat. Love to you and be very well my friend and thank you. Please let your imagination keep on flying დდ
Oooh… I love a good Air-show…. Lovely <3
Happy you enjoyed Sue & thank you! Hope all is well with you 🛦🛦
Pictures of the desert show there to have really tall cactus. If I met the jets and cactus there someday(which I doubt), I would definitely be overwhelmed by the whole scene. 🙂
Yes! Thank you very much. I have met both the jets and the cactus all my life and I am still overwhelmed by them both. I would be overwhelmed and honored to visit where you live. Stay safe & well Bruce 🛦🛦
Wow that must of been an awesome show to see !
Thank you Kerri. It was special 🛦🛦
The skill those pilots must possess! There is something quite exciting about brute machines making a butterfly that evaporates with the wind! (Hope you are well.) Linda xx
This is a poetically beautiful comment Linda. Bombers making butterflies was a sight to see! All is well here, thank you & take good care 🌄

Lovely. Thank you 🌅
Brazilian theme.
Beautiful photos. We recently had the Blue Angels in town. Always amazed at their precision.
Thanks much. They are amazing aren’t they! დ
Nothing like the sounds of jets to raise your eyes to the sky! They have been doing lots of maneuvers here locally on Tuesdays.
Yes. They are impressive. Hope all is well with you Eunice დ
I feel the need- the need for speed!!! Awesome photos! 🛩️
Thanks so much & cheers to you!
