At least one from west of Montreal. And I finally met a guy from Palomar that I used to see a lot because we got our instrument ratings from the same guy. I use my rating to dink around in the clouds once in a while. He used his to get a job towing targets behind a Lear 35 for Phoenix Air while Tomcats shoot live ammo at him. I lied and told both Sean Tucker and Wayne Handley that they were the best I'd ever seen.
Truth is they are.
When you reach that level of excellence, comparisons seem meaningless. They were there, having a beer, anxious to talk flying with other pilots like they probably do every other night of the year. The Blue Angel crew was there, but the Angels themselves declined to appear. I guess while they're technically not forbidden to party, it's just not done. There were a lot of scantily clad women there who would've been very kind to a Blue Angel.
