Off we go, into the wild blue yonder

What do hockey fans do when they're not watching games in person or on television? They work on their tans by attending the local airshow, held along the St. Petersburg waterfront at historic Albert Whitted Airport.

Not only did we get to see an Air Force F-15 Strike Eagle, a Marine Corps V-22 Osprey and some wicked-cool aerial acrobatics, but Colin and I also got our picture taken (shown above) sitting inside a Blue Angels jet.

Next weekend, it's back to hockey as Joey Thornton and the San Jose Sharks will play the Tampa Bay Lightning.
