2007 MCAS Beaufort Air Show
On April 21, 2007 I attended the 2007 MCAS Beaufort Air Show. I bought a front row reserved seat. I was seated directly across where the Blue Angels were parked.
It was incredible show. At the end of the show, I see the Blue Angel pilots marching in formation. As they pass each plane, a pilot does a smart turn and marches to his plane. One by one each plane pulls out and turns. I loved seeing them take off in formation.
Mid way into the Blue Angel segment, I started to head to my car which was parked near a unused runway. I watched the Blue Angels as I walked.
I was trying to beat the crowd leaving. Regrettably Blue Angel 6 Lieutenant Commander Kevin "Kojak" Davis greyed out and crashed.

Huntington Island State Park, SC
Hunting Island State Park is one of the most popular state parks and beach areas in South Carolina. The Hunting Island beach attracts over a million visitors a year.
The pristine sandy beach, natural setting and warm Atlantic Ocean make a perfect getaway. Hunting Island features a campground, which has spaces for RV's and tent campers, as well as a primitive camp site for established groups. The camping area has very easy access to the beach.
The Hunting Island historic lighthouse is the only lighthouse open to the public to climb in the state. From the top platform, one can get a breathtaking view of the ocean, beach and the marshland.

Review: Common Ground
If you are visiting downtown Beaufort, SC and want a cup of coffee, Common Ground Coffeehouse is a nice choice. It is down an alley towards the waterfront.
It is small with a couple of comfortable chairs and a few tables. And of course, it has a small porch with some tables overlooking the waterfront.
On this chilling winter afternoon, we had their hot chocolate which was good. I liked the fact that the whipped cream was put on using a baker’s icing bag not a can of so-called whipped cream.
