There is also a video of the Blue Angels flying to Van Halen's "Dreams", which is outstanding. Remember, the Navy does not have piolets, they are aviators. GO NAVY!!
Still my fav!
Air force has their own group..thunderbirds, i believe... Blue Angels Rock!! I'm from CC, Tx. I LOVE the Blues!!
I get to watch this show almost every Tuesday and Wednesday. I live directly across from Sherman Field at NAS Pensacola where they are stationed. Never get tired of it. The house trembles when they fly over. Love it.
@Gillespie Hazlewood
How amazing to be able to watch that right from your home.
Thanks for the comment
@@BritPopsReact Thanks for the great job you guyâs do with your channel.
I'm a proud U.S navy vet ! Facts , I'll put our navy pilots against the world's best and our own air force. guarantee we will come out on top every time . Our air force equivalent is the THUNDERBIRDS
They left out Fat Albert flown by the Marines and another one worth watching is the Navy Leapfrogs
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
My late father in law was a mechanic for the Blue Angels back in the late 40âs.
The Thunder Birds are the USAFâs aerobatic jet plane team. They probably have a video available, too. Thanks for another fun video, Brits!
We get to see the Thunder Birds often here in Las Vegas as they are based at Nellis AFB. During Covid to Honor all the Health Care Workers!
czcams.com/video/HVbuTFdLz-o/video.html
I grew up and live by CENTCOM (MACDILL AFB ) For most of my 62 years. I've seen the Blue Angeles, and their Air Force equivalent ,the Thunderbirds, many times. They fly right over my sailboat when they're here. It alternates yearly. 1 year it's the Angeles, next the Birds. I've been seeing them since the 70s when they flew the F4 Phantoms. Fun to see. Capt.Bob, SV ( Sailing Vessel) 27th Chance, Tampa Fl, USA đşđ¸
I love the Blue Angels. I've been lucky enough to see them several times. Their silent sneak attack jump scares me every time đ. They can run "silent". You won't hear anything coming behind you and then swoosh! American military aviators are to me the best in the world. I wouldn't recommend any other countries trying to get into a head on fight with these guys. They would absolutely out maneuver and merc them.
Absolutely great video today guys. Thanks. ⤠from the Great State of Texas đ
Finally, a video I can comment on with a touch of knowledge... The way that it works in the US Navy; you can hope to get into a tactical squadron that has a reputation that allows you to go wherever you want to after you roll out (your 2-3 year billet, depending on your location (CONUS/OUTCONUS)). VFA-195, (Strike Fighter Squadron 195) out of CAG-5, Atsugi Japan (at the time - has since moved) was one of those squadrons. If you flew with that group and were good, write your next ticket. Many pilots went on to Strike Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) as instructors, others went on to various commands. At the time of this video, about half of the Blue Angels came from VFA-195. (Great time to take my nephew to a show and have insider access from knowing half the pilots. Made me seem really cool to my nephew).
It's an old video. I can tell because I was with VFA-195 from 1995-1998. When the video starts, it shows "Bart" (Commander Bartlett) as #1, he took command of the unit at some point. He rolled out of VFA-195 as a LCDR, straight into the Blue Angels, somewhere around '96. Super cool guy. One of the better pilots I worked with.
So here's the deal... I'll try to put things in order so they stack.
1. The Blue Angels are completely, 100% combat ready. They are not stripped down for air demos. Outside of the paint, they could be loaded up with weapons and deployed as is. A major part of their "show" isn't illusion. If you look at other demo flight groups, a lot of it has to do with viewer angles and "wow" factor of how it looks. The Blue Angels are really about showing tactical capability.
2. The white smoke: It's simply to let people know where they are. These things move so quickly, if they weren't dropping a trail, people would miss 90% of the action, simply because they wouldn't see them.
3. What they show and most people miss: I'm at Fleet Week in San Francisco one year with a couple of friends. My buddy's wife is kind of bored, not understanding the flying around and such. I pointed over to the mountains by the Golden Gate Bridge, knowing that they would pop over them at low altitude at some point. I said "Imagine this things that are about to show themselves pop up, fire off a couple AIM-9s, then disperse. What are you going to do?". The speed at which they showed up and left, left her slack-jawed. She only said "Holy F*&k. Where are they coming from next"? It's a show of tactics. Video will never capture that and most people never understand it.
4. Flying Paint. These guys start the season at a few feet from each other. By the end, they're flying within 18 inches of each other. What they do is line up a rivet within their canopy to a spot of paint on the tail of the leading plane. Then, hold it there, aligned. That's flying paint.
5. Video can't do it justice. The heat, noise and smell of a flight deck is beyond words. As an old WW2 buddy put it: "It's a million dollar experience, I wouldn't pay a F$#king nickel to repeat".
-Go Navy
Thanks for the reaction!
As others have said the Thunderbirds are the Air Force version of this.
Any pilot of any service of any Country that has this skill level is to be respected. Kudos to the Red Arrows as well. I've seen a video they are impressive as well.
Thunderbirds are .A.F. Blue Angels were First; they fly18 inches apart in the Diamond Formation. No one else does or can do this. Angels never use Colored Smoke; they don't have to. They ARE!! the very best Pilots on Earth. Red Arrows fly toys..Trainer Aircraft.
NO ONE has the SKILL of The Blue Angels...NO!! "F"ing One. I wanted to be a Blue Angel Pilot; I never even got my Wings. The Blue Angel never use Colored Smoke; they don't have to(Are YOU a Moron; who gives shit about smoke)??? The Red Arrows fly "F"ing toys-Trainer Jets. They fly around in formation...Boring Steve the U.S. Marine
Go Navy!
These pilots fly so close in formations they actually practice their formations on the floor using rollers. Love the Angels! They didn't even show Fat Albert, who is a cool cat on his own.
All the teams are impressive to us civilians who think driving to work is dangerous. Those pilots are a special class of awesome.
Reminds me of when my buddy's friend flew his dad's plane up to Iowa City to visit us and took us up to fly around. First thing I said when I got the headset on was "Maverick to Goose" lol. Also, in Junior High we had Career Day and parents would come into talk us about what they do and it was awesome cause this one kid's dad was a fighter pilot and he came into talk to us and it was awesome. Same when they had the two Marines come to teach us boys who got picked how to raise and lower and fold the American flag every day at school properly.
There's lots of good videos of The Blue Angels. Just this year they added their first female fighter pilot to the Angels. These videos are always impressive. ALWAYS!
BP2 -đ you're Cool! You're funny heh.. love it! ⤠the đŹđ§đ
Blue Angels are Navy, Thunderbird are US Air Force. Both use 4th generation front line fighters (F18, F16). Red Arrows fly a modified Hawk (light attack/trainer) . Big difference in speed and g loading during the shows. Blue angels do passes at anywhere from 350 to 550 knots, the Hawk can barely get to 350. Blue Angel's typically use white smoke because it shows up better at the speeds they fly, but not always ( event dependent).
Remember the largest air force in the world is the US Air Force but the second largest is the US Navy. The Thunderbirds are the USAF equivalent but I think the Blue Angels are a little cooler.
They do have the colored smoke sometimes.. if you ever get a chance to see these guys I would go. This video doesnât even come close to what they actually do. If you get the chance you should take a look at what these guys actually do to get ready for these shows. The walk through before going up. Itâs amazing the way they get ready. The training and how they pick the guys who end up on the squad.
There is scuttlebutt about the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds doing a joint performance in the near future. During the pandemic both groups joined together to fly over major cities in the US to recognize and honor our medical professionals and first responders. They did this in lieu of the cancelled air shows. I managed to catch the Angels doing âlapsâ over Indianapolis Indiana.
I saw a joint show with the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds is scheduled at NAS Pensacola beginning of November 2024
Interesting note, the pilots don't wear G-suits. They fly so close together that if the g-suit inflates it will push their control hand causing a collision. There are some excellent documentaries put out by the US Navy about them, even on board footage, you can listen to the flight boss calling the cadence as they fly.
The Air Force team is called the Thunderbirds
top shelf pilots đşđ¸đ¤đ¤
No video can do justice I live in Battle Creek Michigan we have an airshow every other year we get to see them for the Fourth of July or the Thunderbirds I donât know whoâs better honestly
Iâve seen the red arrows. They performed here in Louisiana one year.
I've seen the Red Arrows many times at the Chicago Air and Water show. We alternate between the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels.
I live right by Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan, USA, and have attended numerous air shows. As far as I know none of the US military air acrobatic teams (Blue Angels - US Navy flying F-18 Super Hornets, Thunderbirds - US Air Force flying F-16 Fighting Falcons) use multi-colored smoke. Not sure why. I've seen the Red Arrows, fantastic team, and love their colorful display patterns. It's definitely something the American teams could emulate to add more spark to their presentations.
Valerie Burris I have the seen the Thunderbirds which is the Air Force, and the Blue Angeles the Navy flying together.
Hi both, wow this is impressive, definitely a âhold your breathâ watching moment. Their flying skills are truly remarkable. A great upload âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸
They usually fly formations at approximately 36 inches apart and at times they are as close as 18 inches. They now have a female Marine pilot in the group. Our Air Force team in The Thunderbirds who fly the F-16 Fighting Falcon's.
My son who is really into air shows along with some friends of his and they say the Blue Angels are better than the Thunderbirds as their precision flying is unmatched.
Lifelong Blue Angels fan, I finally saw them again this past week after not seeing them for quite a few years. Got awesome seats and saw them start and takeoff. What really makes them so unique is the insane precision they fly with! Itâs not just stunts, as others said theyâre showing some of what they can do tactically. Just incredible watching them whoosh by overhead
The Navy Blue Angels, we also have the Air Force Thunderbirds.
@Still Racer
Thanks for the info, we may have to check out the Thunderbirds too, what a cool name 5... 4... 3... you know where i'm going
If you get the chance, watch the Blue Angels documentary by JJ Abrams. It shows how they start their season in training in CA. They are assigned for 2 yrs service with the Blue Angels. It takes the team a little bit of time to perfect the Diamond formation, as the formation that they work hard to perfect is the Patriotic formation, where they at approximately 18 inches from each other. It is a very interesting and informative documentary on the Blue Angels. They a AMAZING!
Saw them at mcdill air force base in Tampa FL in 09 what a show there are videos that you can see every thing going on in the cockpit check that out... recently maybe a year ago the blue angels were in the UK flying with the red arrows there's a video out there I'm sure
An interesting fact about their planes. They are all aircraft that are near the end of their service life. Too worn out to continue carrier landings. They are stripped of anything not needed for their new mission and given a thorough overhaul. By the time the Blues are done with them, they're only good as a museum piece, gate guard, or scrap heap.
@Robert Fane
Now that is interesting, you would think with what the guys and girls do with those planes in the display team they would be using brand new ones not planes that are end of life. wow.
I saw the Blue Angels flying over the surf/beach at the New Jersey shore way back in the 60âs.
I kept forgetting to breathe.. Then they'd get so close to one another and I would gasp, and only then did I realize I had been holding my breath. They must have nerves and stomachs of steel. I don't think I could watch them live, I am sure I would pass out. Great video and reactions guys. Peace and love..đ đ¤
As people have said, the Blue Angels represent the Navy and fly F18s. We also have the Air Force equivalent which are called the Thunderbirds and fly F16s. In the US the Navy's only fighter jets are F18 or F35. The USAF flies F15, F16, F22, and F35 for their fighter fleets.
The Blue Angels seem more aggressive because theyâre doing actual combat maneuvers at more than double the speed. The top speed for the Red Arrowâs Hawk T1 is 622 mph/1,000 kph. The Blue Angels are flying F18 Super Hornets that can go 1,400 mph/2,253 kph.
the Navy Blue Angels and the US Air Force Thunderbirds fly six aircraft. Most of the other countries demo teams fly 9 plane. For the first part of the show the Blues and Thunderbirds brake their teams into two elements. The four plane diamond show the precision of formation flying and the two solos show the high speed and tight turns as they cross each other in close maneuvers. The last part of the show all six plane do large loops and rolls in what is called the delta formation
0.5 meters. The "Diamond Four" separation, wingtip to canopy. Look at it this way. Take a 12,000 kg aircraft, travelling at 250 kph and hit a football pitch sized target that is, by the way, moving in all three axis, and do it every time you want to come home. Oh, and you've been flying 6 hrs in combat, it's 2:00 am and your home is in a storm. Precision!! Studies in Viet Nam showed more stress at landing than in combat.
Retired Navy Hospital Corpsman, in 1985 I was stationed at NAS Pensacola, home base of the Blue Angels and got to know many of their enlisted personnal.
Unfortunately, they lost one of their pilots LCDR Gershon in a crash during an Air Show in my hometown of Niagara Falls during the season, and the mood around the Base was depressed for a while.
Later that same year they held a Change Of Command Ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum on Base and I was on medical on standby for the Ceremony.
Also in attendance were the Army's Golden Knights Parachute Team, the Air Force Thunderbirds and Canada's Snowbirds (honestly I don't remember if the Royal Air Force Red Arrows were there or not).
Being from Niagara Falls were the crash occurred, it meant a lot to me.
It is the best of the Navy and Marine Corps that get to fly in the Blue Angels. The other team is the Air Force Thunderbirds.
When you see the vapor forming around the aircraft, they are approaching to speed of sound. Itâs when the jet passes through the âcone of condensationâ is when they break the sound barrier. The smoke is used by the pilots to tell the lead that they are in the correct formation with correct spacing depending on the maneuver. Have a look at a POV Blue Angels video to gain a better perspective of the spacing
Just saw these guys back in September in Va Beach at Oceania. Grew up in that area and have seen them on several occasions. Impressive every time I see them. âď¸ đŠ
The U.S. military branches have three precision flight teams.
1) Army - Golden Knights
2) Navy - Blue Angels
3) Air Force - Thunderbirds
They perform demonstrations at air shows world wide so you should be able to find video of all of them. Enjoy!
golden knights is an army precision parajump team as the army does not operate fixed wing aircraft, but for army aviator skill the 160th SOAR is our best but they dont do public displays often
My fiancĂŠs plane had to circle for 2 hours while those birds were on the ground. I didn't buy tickets. I got a front row seat. It was unreal the security measures taken. My girlfriend is floating somewhere in the sky on a Jet Blue flight for 2 hours over my head as I'm clapping my hands and cheering for the Blue Angels. Melissa's plane was not allowed to land until those guys left.
Impressive, great fun to see the air display shows.
there are several videos of most major countries aerobatic teams. T his video almost seems more like a recruitment spot for the US Navy. The US has 2 major teams ,The Blue angels which are US Navy and they are Blue and Gold because that is the colors of the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. The oyher is The US Air Force Thunderbirds, their colors are Silver and Blue from The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs , Co. Try searching any of these with the word air show after the name of the team.
Stationed out of Jacksonville Florida they fly over my house during the air show they are amazing
The US Air Force has the Thunderbirds, which is the blue angel equivalentđ
Do US Air Force has the Thunderbirds. Every year here in the Chicago area they have the Chicago air and water show and they usually have either of the blue Angels or the Thunderbirds and they fly out over Lake Michigan.
ahh yes.. the F/A-18 Hornet. Definitely one of the sexiest jets to ever be built. As Steve Erwin would say, Isnt she a beauty?
The colored smoke is only for shows, that was a promo. Awesome on its own.
The Air Forces Thunderbirds and the Navys equivilant Blue Angels, are both phonominal.
The Blues donât have colored smoke because they use paraffin wax for their smoke instead of oil mixed with the exhaust. More environmentally friendly.
Nothing is more exciting than military aircraft!! How freaking fun would THAT be?? I love all this kind of stuff, have you seen the newly introduced our B21 Raider? My all time favorite US aircraft is the SR71 Blackbird, she was a wicked beast!
You ought to check out Lt. Amanda Lee, The Blue Angles FIRST female pilot. HELL YEAH! Maybe soon you will introduce us Americans to your Red Arrows? And remember Gentlemen, my dear Uncle Brian flew a fighter for the RAF in WW2.
@Chuey's Mama
Brilliant idea, we will try and get something recorded soon and the SR71 Blackbird was an awesome plane and so far advanced for it's time.
Cheers all
The used to fly three feet, wing tip to wing tip. Blue Angels are Navy , Thunderbirds Air Force
Iâve never seen colored smoke. Read up on Thunderbirds.
On June 3, 2017 a Blue Angel jet crashed in Smyrna TN (suburb of Nashville.) the pilot heroically lost his life, by maneuvering plane out of path of school and park. The pilot Capt Jeff Kuss is memorialized at that site
@Sandy Boudreaux-Barber
Thank you Sandy for all the comments and information.
*That* was impressive. đ I don't understand what happened at 7:34. Two planes were so close they looked like they were overlapping. Then they did synchronised complete 360° rolls without hitting each other. Very clever camera angles? I watched that on the original, but it still looked impossible. I think the music, in-cockpit angles, and some of the very close formation shots gives it a more 'action-packed' feel than views from the ground.
I wasn't clear it was an air display. I only saw the edge of a possible audience on the ground once.
Fascinating.
Nice to see BP2 'grooven' to the tunes đ
Best Wishes, Chaps. âŽ
G-Man-đ
The United States Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps collectively use military aircraft.
The United States Air Force has an team they are called the Thunderbirds, but the navy called them the thunder chickens
Actually they call them the Lawn DartsâŚ.
The US Air Force is the largest Air Force in the world. The US Navy has the second largest air force in the world.
A fact that so many people seem to not know. It's kinda mind-blowing really l. the precision and skill it takes to land on an aircraft carrier is extraordinary you can't knock navy pilots.
I believe the big differences between the Red Arrows and the Blue Angels/Thunderbirds is the American teams use front line combat aircraft. Where the Red Arrows dont.
Thunderbirds are the USAFâs teamâ¤. Proud to be a USAF Veteran!
My ex hovered for 2 hours in a jet on her way home from vacation, right above those pilots. Her vehicle was demanded to remain in the air until navy cleared the deck.
The Thunderbirds is the Air Force version.
US Thunderbirds are the Air Force
Blue Angels are part of the US Navy and the US Marine Corps, they are known as the best in the world! Red arrows are amazing too!
Thunderbirds are the Air Force team and Blue Angels Navy
The Navy Blue Angels & Air Force Thunderbirds shows do more to demonstrate the tactical capabilities of the aircraft as well as the pilots. I've seen both teams countless times since the 50's & have never seen them use colored smoke. I've enjoyed the Red Arrows as well as the Canadian Snowbirds whose shows are similar to the Red Arrows that seem to fly in ways to offer more in the way of visual patterns and not so much what the plane is capable of. Once many years ago a British pilot attended a Blue Angels show & put on a 5 minute "tactical" show in his Tornado which is truly a badass airplane. The guy was great fun to watch.
If memory serves the blue angels were formed slightly before the us air force's creation as a branch of the armed forces. (It was part of the army before)
The Thunderbirds are the Red Arrows equivalent in the US. LOL!! The twin vertical stabilizers (thingies). I'm not sure about smoke now days. They used to have red/white/blue for short bursts before. Adam Savage rode with the Blue Angel & threw up a few times. He said it was the best time he ever had getting sick. Look on CZcams 'adam savage blue angels'. I think he blacked out once with the g forces. I don't think you could react to it. Copyrighted and all that.
I've seen them in Chicago. There's no comparison in the world.
Check out the Thunderbird another one plane group like the Blue Angels
While the Air Force flies alone, the Blue Angels always have one pilot that is a Marine. The Blues only blow white smoke. The diamond is impressive but I've always had a thing for 5 and 6.. The solos. The entire team does flyovers for major sporting events.. like the Super Bowl. I've been watching them since I was 3. The USAF Thunderbirds are white with red accents and blue on the bottom. They also only use white smoke. Personally I think you can see the Blues better in the sky but that's just a personal preference. The Thunderbirds have had female pilots before the Blues showing that they have good taste. đ You didn't get to see Fat Albert though. It's their C-130 that can take off on a short strip and go straight up.
One more interesting fact, while the Thunderbirds wear g suits when they fly, the Blues don't. They say it gives them more control over the stick and they can get closer to each other.
@Kari Williams
Thakn you Kari for all the information, you certainly know a lot about the subject since you have been watching them since the age of 3.
Thank you for taking the time to post
One more fun fact for you, the number 7 pilot is the only one on the team that is one of the Blues for 3 years. The others are all 2 years. They fly the vip and news people and are the announcer the first year. Then they normally move to the solo slots. The Thunderbirds don't do that.
When I was 12 I dressed up as a red white and blue clown and road my unicycle in a 4th of July Parade. The Blue Angels were there and they were like oh your so cool kid that's awesome. I had no idea who they were. My mom had them put there arms around me and got a picture. I was so embarrassed to have these super hot guys touching me. Now I'm glad for the pic.
There are normally six pilots but they had a mid-air collision and the drop to four pilots many many have died
Thunderbirds represent the U. S. Air Force. Blue Angels the U.S.Navy
Blue Angels showing tactis
A more comprehensive video is "500 ft, 500 knots".
It was said quite a long time ago that the colored smoke had additional additives to make the colors that were deemed to be more hazardous than the plain white smoke. So the American demo teams (blue angels and thunderbirds) stopped using the colored smoke.
If they ever miscalculate! Yikes!
The Blue Angles are based at a Florida Naval Air Station on our Gulf of Mexico Coast.
They practice almost daily in some form or fashion.
These practice flights are the best free air-show one can watch.
@Gary E Magee
How much fun must that be having a front row seat on a daily basis.
Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel too
Red Arrows are "F"ing Toys...Trainer Jets. Blue Angels are U.S. Navy...ASSHOLE!!!!
Not "Super Hornet", Legacy Hornet. The older model. The Air Force Thunderbirds lost an entire diamond formation because they were focused on keeping position and followed the leader into the ground. 1982
The Blue Angels switched to the Super Hornet at the start of this year
@@marks3750 Cool!! Thanks. I had not heard. I appreciate the info.đ
These are all combat tactics. Within 24 hours they are ready to go. Thatâs only the paint drying.
Great reaction ... awesome in fact. And actually, you are correct. The Blue Angels are flown by U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines pilots. The Thunderbirds are flown by the U.S. Air Force are our direct equivalent to your Red Arrows. I have always preferred the Blue Angels though. I think they are the cream-of-the-crop and have a very low number of "accidents", making them the elite acrobatic team here and no, I don't think they use colored smoke on any occasion or for any event. I can't be đŻ% certain of that, but I've been to tons of airshows, mostly where the Blue Angels were the featured attraction, and I have never seen them do it. Update: The Blue Angels fly to within 18" of each other, on a regular basis. You saw a few examples in this video. Cheers, brothers from another countryđĽđťđđ
Thunderbird are USAF. White smoke only. Something to do with the toxicity of colorored smoke
Also, the DO NOT wear G-suits, and pull in excess of 7 G's.
Iâve seen both the US Navy Blue Angels and the US Air Force Thunderbirds. This video doesnât represent the finesse and smoothness that the Angels demonstrate in their show. They do have their power moments but most of the show is highly controlled precision flying; probably because you have to often land on an aircraft carrier in real life. The Thunderbirds have always seemed to be more in the power mode and even in their more precise moments they never seem to be anywhere near as tight a formation; probably because they always land on big, fairly long runways. The shows are different and a hell of a lot of fun to watch.
They don't use colored smoke. There are 6 aircraft, but often they do precision formations as a 4-ship and then as it goes out to get configured for the next fly-by, the other two are soloists who will make a pass such as the knife-edge merge, etc. This keeps the show moving along, and then as shown sometimes they join to a 6-ship. There are other videos taken from their cockpits showing formations so close with wingtips just slightly beyond a cockpit, etc. They also have one or two 2-seaters that will conduct publicity rides prior to shows for television personalities, etc., just to help raise awareness for the upcoming show. Both the Blues and the USAF Thunderbirds are chosen from active units for a 2 or 3-year assignment to the Demonstration Teams, then at the end go back to resume service in a unit.
Cockpit Video: czcams.com/video/Ynvoriv09Ks/video.html
420th like as Iâm smoking a joint, itâs meant to be
funny there is a video of a reds said they would not even make it to be a blue angel.
The only difference between the Red Arrows and Blue Angels is colored smoke???? The Red Arrows would crap their pants flying as close as the Blues.
The US has a flying team they're call the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE THUNDERBIRDS.
This video does no justice to what they are actually doing and the cordination. This is more of a hype video but you watch a technical video especially with comms and its so impressive. They are within less then 2 feet from each other when in formations. They also dont were GSuits like you normally would going to battle. Way better videos you could watch then this and there are actually 7 Angel Aviators and if you have never seen the AC130 Hercules you are in for a treat
Also the first female Blue Angel Aviator joined in 2023. Lt. Amanda Lee I think she is number 6 but dont qoute me
Blue Angels are Navy the Thunderbirds are Air Force
Blue Angels Navy and Thunderbirds Air Force
I bet still not as scary as Gramp in WWII in the Air Corp...js lol
Because there are 11 carriers, the navy's air fleet is quite huge -- and separate from the USAF.
MLB Fastballs to the Head Compilation by made the cut
Itâs zoomed in so close you canât see what theyâre doing in connection to the other planes. There are a lot better videos
Yeah, this has to be on the lower end of Blue Angels videos I've seen. Many clips are recycled many times.
