There were other big crowds, like in California and New York, but they saw so much Navy that they weren’t the die-hard fans that you’d find in the Midwest. You would have thought we had won World War Three. About that time the crowd broke through the barrier, the snow fence, and we shut down. Then we realized we were sinking in to the hot asphalt taxiway that was not built to handle heavy jets. We managed not to run off the runway, but while taxiing back in echelon we kept getting slower and slower. We were not scheduled to land there because the runway was only 5,000 feet or so, but our public affairs officer radioed us about the enthusiastic crowd so we decided to land. There were probably ten or twenty thousand people in Mason City, so it was obvious that they had drawn people from all over the state. We flew over the field for our opening maneuver and it looked like a million people. We flew out of a base around Minneapolis on one of those crystal clear days. As a result an appearance of the Blue Angels was a major event. They didn’t see a lot of Navy planes and in those days didn’t see many military aviators at all. I like the Midwest most because of their enthusiasm. 'Did you have a particular place that you liked to perform? This is just bullshit.We recently came across this interview with a former Blue Angel pilot from the late 1950s, Bob Rasmussen. I will try my best never to rent from Waterloo Airport again. Figured if I blew it up, at least I would have gotten what I wanted in the first place. No clue how the motor stayed in it - but I drove it. The last time I rented from the airport, the guy was pissed I rented off the NET at a lower price, and instead of giving me the car I rented - which would have been a Camry, he decided I needed to drive a Nissan about the size of a butter box. Had they had a car, I would have been gone, and the car could have just sat there. Find closest airports by distance, maps and offer low cost airlines and cheap.

I needed to be in OKC that day - then let it sit for 2.5hrs. He told me the car wouldn't be available until 10AM, or later.even though it obviously was sitting there. The phone was laying on the seat beside me, and there was no call history regarding these 'calls'. Whoever answered told me they had been trying to call me at my cell number.

As there was no one at the counter, the sign said to call a number which I did. The counter gal pulled up aside of me with the same car I rented while I was sitting there - shortly after 8AM.

I thought I had the car rented for 7:30AM - but did not get there until 8:09.
