Those boys can REALLY fly!! I took my sons to see them last year & to say the least, we were extremely impressed!!! They put on a top notch show, the C130 flight was especially cool! It's just too neat to see that C130 do it's job!!!!

 

Hey, anyone know where I can get some of those JATO's for my truck?

 

I saw those guys many years ago in Florida, they set off all of the car alarms in the parking lot when they came in behind the grand stands and scared the you know what out of all of the spectators. Great show tho, those boys really can fly.

 

I was at Virginia Beach many years ago and as we were soaking up the harmful rays of the sun, a helicopter starts flying parallel to the shoreline telling everybody to get out of the water. I was expecting a shark attack or something but then the blue Angels showed up an it was really cool. They were almost skimming the water they were so low. Those guys are nuts......

 

Thanks Alpine, great clip with the captions and music. The Blue Angles preforme in the Seattle Seafair. Watched them for all the years I was in Seattle. The practice was also fun to watch.
There are/were some people that wanted to ban the Blue Angels, "they make too much noise."
There was a sign at the Whidby Island NAS that said 'This is the sound of Freedom."

 

I try to make a point to go see the Blue Angels every summer along with all the other airshow participants. I saw Patty Wagstaff with them last year and she is an awesome pilot. It is a great family outing. the kids love it. ( And admission is free !) I have probably seen them 6-7 times now and it NEVER gets old.
I worked on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and you would think I would have had my fill of navy aircraft.... NOPE,, still love it every time I watch them...
