I've still got skin peeling from that show. My outside car temp was reading 116F stuck in traffic after the show! It was worth it. In 1988, I had the rare opportunity to party with both the Blue Angels and Thunderbird team at venerable Trader John's in Pensacola. The Blues got up on stage and called the Thunderbirds up. They presented them with a gift wrapped box that was a token of the Thunderbird's flying ability. When the team leader opened the box, it was a rubber chicken. 😋 Was anyone else on here there? EPIC!!!
It must be number 7...but I've never seen it fly during the show. It's the media liason who shows up and takes local media or celebs up. Must have been, like, hey I'm tired of narrating the damn show...I wanna FLLLLYYYY toooooo.

This is absolutely fantastic!! Great video!!
@@aviatealabama thank you :)
Thank you for sharing this video. My husband and I saw them locally but we really want to see the show in Pensacola
We attended the show on the 12th, but got rained out 😔
this looks like it was shot from the top floor of casino bar & grill. How can I get this vantage point?
@@HoldensAirshowVideoMedia yep was part of a party and I got lucky. This was just my cell phone mounted to my hot shoe on my camera body.
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Awesome blue jets
Is that other jet filming this?
@@suasponte8363 it sure is.
What's the deal with the one jet shadowing them all the time? Never seen that before at any show I've been to.
I’m not sure. I was wondering why as well.

@@TheMiningCabinet I bet that is it. Thank you.
they have it during the practice and prep shows to take photography
Its most likely one of their photographers either taking pictures or filming video for them!
