Well, I have seen the Blue Angels. I wandered to a little overlook up here on Queen Anne, which is quite a ways from Lake Washington, where the show is, but I figured I'd be able to see something. And indeed, for the most part, it was like watching mosquitoes fly around. Yesterday, one of my friends was saying she left town during this, because the noise gives her migraines. As I was walking to the viewpoint, I could hear the planes rumbling in the distance, and thought, "she should come over here for it, the noise isn't much louder than an ordinary passenger jet." But then one flew right over me, and it is indeed rather loud. I think that's the only time I've ever felt sound as an actual wave, rolling over me.
We had a few really nice flybys, and then I decided I was content.

The place I lived in Bellevue, they flew directly overhead several times during the show. Since I was working Graveyard shift at the time, I wasn't very happy about that.

But when you're not in a situation like that, they really are pretty cool.
