Armed Forces can do, thanks to the McDonald's Air & Sea Show.

The students, many of whom were JROTC cadets from high schools across the county, got to see F-14, F-16 and F-18 attack jets as well as the bat-like B-2 bomber and the supersonic B-1 bomber. The U.S. Army's elite parachute team – the Golden Knights – "dropped in" on the day and talked with a number of students.

Many of the students were in awe of the military might America has, but realized that as fantastic as many of the planes and ships are, it takes people to make them work. Along with the "oohs and ahhs" that accompanied every high-speed pass of a fighter jet, many students were heard saying: "I could do that."

Who knows, thanks to the Air & Sea Show experience, some of tomorrow's protectors of the United States may come from Broward County.
