Did he wear the traditional spartan mascot skirt during the flight?

Whether you like watching airplanes or not, the Blue Angels are a unique experience and something everyone can enjoy. The F-16 Viper East Demo is unforgetable as well.

So thats what that was. I saw them over Dexter doing barrel rolls and different maneuvers. I was working at a clients house out doors and the sound came out of no where and it scared the heck out of me for a second. lol
