About This Item

Across the Shannon River. Limerick Ireland

In the late 1960's my dad was a Navy Chief in charge of the mechanics for the transport plane that flew with the famed Blue Angels. He has since retired and is now living in the San Francisco Bay area.

While gardening recently, I excavated this diecast Blue Angels toy my now grown boys played with close to 20 years ago. It's a bit worse for wear, but I thought it would make an ideal travel item to honor my Dad's many years of service in the Navy.

We would be delighted to have him travel around so that my Dad can track his antics. Placing the TB near various Navy bases would be very cool. It would also be lovely if this TB could join our fine troops in Iraq. Please take lots of photos and descriptions of your travels so my Dad can enjoy following Blue Angels' journey.

Ultimately, he should pass through Pensacola, FL. A signature from a current Blue Angels pilot would be wonderful. If that's not possible, a photo of the TB in the area would be nice.

Please return the little guy to the San Francisco South Bay. Thanks!

    No Naval Air Stations in Central Minnesota, but I'll be happy to "fly" him up by the US/Canadian border this coming weekend. Beautiful lakes and forest area. I'll try to remember to take a picture. Thanks Blue Angel Dad for your patriotic sacrifice and service to our country.

    Grabbed from a fun night cache today. Looks like this Jets navigation system isn't working to well, will see if I can get it back on track.
