Let’s call it #WingsWednesday as I jump back to the airshow in Grand Junction from a couple of weeks ago. Of course, the Blue Angels were the headline show and they did indeed put on an impressive display in the skies of Colorado. I previously posted pictures of the solos, here are some captures of the core diamond formation.
