Have you ever met a member of the Blue Angel at an air show?

I went to an air show and seen the Blue Angels perform. I was in awe of what they can do. After the show I decided in my heart I was going to walk up to one hand my camera to a complete stranger and ask that person to take a picture of me and a Blue Angel pilot named Craig "Merlin" Olson. I never felt so scared in my life! I have the picture in my wallet and had a larger one in my office. I was told that I had a slim chance in heck to actually get a picture of one of the Blue Angel pilot up close.

I've met several of them at the Cleveland Air Show. I even got to ask them what trick they did that scared them the most they said the dual knife edge high speed pass in front of the grandstands was the one that they thought took the most guts. They also ALL love to go sonic. They called it a real "tension breaker".
