Blue Angels near El Centro, California

We were looking for Snow Geese, Burrowing Owls, Red Tailed Hawks, etc. when these planes flew by.

I am proably wrong but they look like "Blue Angels".

I have spent more time at El Centro than I did in Fallon, Huma and San Diego combined. Back in the 90's we did some serious training out there- the Bombing ranges (back then) were perfect. I ended up working the range in Puerto Rico after I spent so much time in El Centro....

Perfectly timed and composed! Must have been a thrill to see them. V!
