Great AirFest Moment

About an hour after the conclusion of the show, the Blue Angels took off for their home base located in Pensacola, Florida. A handful of spectators were on hand to view their departure and wave goodbye as the Blue Angels' dipped their wings and "waved" back the the remaining crowd.

Immediately after the last aircraft was in the air, it began to rain and shortly after a brief downpour...a rainbow appeared! (see below)
