Summary

In 1966, seven-year-old Bill Whittle saw the USAF Thunderbirds at Kindley AFB in Bermuda. On March 18th, he saw them again at Pt. Mugu, California. He was sad to say he was underwhelmed. But by some miracle, the 1966 airshow popped up on YouTube, and comparing the two shows just how much fin and excitement has been bled out of life in the 57 years between the two events. Steve and Scott join in for a discussion of how much safety is too much safety? Help keep speech free while you still can by becoming a Citizen Producer right here: billwhittle.com/register/

Angels were doing an air show at Point Magoo, which is 45-minute drive for me.
