Wow... facing wrong way at time...

We didn't hear about it, hear it or see it. That was right in the middle of the Navy concert. We were sitting on the deck facing the carrier's island and a bit too close to a speaker. The guy running the sound board didn't spare the watts, even when the brass instruments could have held their own just fine without any amplification. The plane crashed about a mile away by my reckoning. Glad the pilots made it out okay. I doubt the plane will be good for much after the experience.

I've been looking for a copy of the "Midway" movie. No luck so far.
