I was downtown near Stampede station when the Snowbirds did all those whirlygigs over the city to start the parade a couple weeks back. I had no idea they were going to be there until I heard the noise so I turned around and they roared right over my head and I said "wowie" out loud. The strangest thing though is that there were these two fellas that didn't even look. They were walking behind me and when I turned around to see the planes these guys just kept on walking towards me and they didn't look up. They just kept going like it's every day that 9 planes fly over their heads at 600 feet.
I stopped and stared every time they went by and when they were finished I must admit that I thought of SideShow Bob.
"Airshow?" Sideshow Bob says incredulously, "Buzz-cut Alabamians spewing coloured smoke in their whiz-jets to the strains of "Rock you like a hurricane? What kind of country-fried rube is still impressed by that?"
