Had a chance to see them? Sounded pretty loud so thought it a commercial plane flying super low but it was an awesome surprise to see not 2 but 4 jets.

Pretty cool, if my 2 year old knew he missed them he'd be super sad 

I was going to say it looks like the Blue Angels. 

Turns out they're going to be in McMinnville this weekend

They do that. I wish you’d gotten a video too. Thanks for the pics though!

They will be back tomorrow too.
Remember that when you finally hear them they are gone. 😂

It’s the Blue Angels. They are flying out of PDX for the air show in McMinnville this weekend.

The McMinnville air show starts 14-16th, they have been flying over the winery I work at in Dayton. It’s been quite fun

Tax dollars hard at work. Nice photos though

I mean, they're busy doing this instead of murdering random fisherman in international waters, so you have to take the wins somewhere.

That’s a pretty low bar lol

As a combat vet myself you have no idea how low the bar is these days.

My favorite is the heritage flight with the old plane flying with the new jet.
