Volume 254: Into the Wild BLUE Yonder

I’m on the front porch of Cleveland, Mall C, which is across the freeway from Huntington Bank Field where the Cleveland Browns play, The Great Lakes Science Center, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and most importantly down the shoreline a ways is Burke Lakefront Airport. Home to the annual Labor Day weekend Cleveland National Airshow. My girlfriend Karen will join me for a break a little later. This has been a regular event for us since we started dating seven years ago and both of us had seen the show several times before that. Now every other year we get to see the top navy aerobatic flight team, who happen to be performing overhead right now. And of course, my dad had an album just for this occasion. It’s an album that features these planes on the front cover. Although they’re the F11’s they flew in 1958. The music is softer and slower than the jets overhead, but every tune's title mentions the color of their hull. So, off we go to experience grace, beauty and precision in Volume 254: Into the Wild BLUE Yonder.
