Blue Angels Pilot Speaks To Shore ROTC Students

BERLIN – When Andy Talbott was four years old, he decided he wanted to fly fighter jets.

Nearly three decades later, that hasn’t changed. Instead of admiring them from the ground though, he’s living his childhood dream as a member of the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels.

Talbot, 31, shared his story with a group of ROTC students from area schools at Stephen Decatur High School in advance of last weekend’s air show.

“I’m not here to recruit you,” he said. “I’m here to talk about the mission of the Blue Angels. We’re here to inspire a culture of excellence.”
