    BLUE ANGELS LIVE COCKPIT FOOTAGE: "One of the best on CZcams"
    This Raw Blue Angels Cockpit Footage was taken over the Severn River, U.S. Naval Academy, and Andrews Air Force Base. If you are interested in "flying lessons," this one gives you a feel for what being airborne is like.
    Watch this one... • Original COCKPIT FOOTA...
    The Blue Angels are similar to other country's aerobatic teams such as "Red Arrows" Thunder Tigers, Turkish Stars, Ukrainian Falcons, Blue Eagles, Cruz del Sur, Roulettes, Kleeblatt, Red Devils, Esquadrilha da Fumaca, the Canadian Snowbirds and Blue Devils, Tigers, Sky Lancers, Fireballs, Golden Hawks, and Goldilocks.

    It's not easy to live up to the statement: "One of the best on CZcams"
    But this really does.

    Wow, watching them fly still gets my heart pumping even after all these years. I went to see them every summer at the Alameda Fairgrounds, in California. My dad was Navy, and he was one of the guys that kept the Blue Angel planes in tip top shape. Thank you so much for this video. It was the Blue Angels who inspired me and gave me my love of flight. My 19 year old grandson is going Navy, and is signing on as a Nuclear Engineer, with his sights set on N.A.S.A. My 22 year old grandson is a Sargent in the Marines, and he is a Nuclear Specialist who just deployed July 6, 2017. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us.

    Thank you so much, Mr. King! The first thing I felt was, "Damn, they are CLOSE!" Then I heard you whooping, hollering, and cackling--showing that clearly you were enjoying yourself. I am afraid I might have passed out during one of those 90 degree high g turns. Whatever qualified you to get this ride, I take my hat off to you. Thanks again for posting!

      @joeshmoe12301230 Před 7 lety

      They take people from the media, celebrities or "VIP" civilians in the two seat jet (I believe it's jet number 7). I don't know if they take civilians during the show, but they obviously take them during their practice shows at least.

    • @rickd248
      @rickd248 Před 9 lety +3

      Bob K Without trying to be disrespectful to any branch of the military, you are right in their flying and fighting ability. The AF lands on a mile or better runway and uses same for takeoff. Navy & Marine land on carriers and launch from same.
      This has nothing to do flying ability but do you remember when all four jets in the T-Bird Diamond crashed in formation during practice? It was the saddest day for the entire military. It was caught on tape and I didn't have the heart to watch it. Still haven't to this day.
      I hope you understand the first part. No disrespect intended.

    I can not get enough of these amazingly selfless, talented pilots!, they haven't shown in Pittsburgh Pa. for sixteen years now but, when I first saw them perform, the enormous amount of pride and sheer awe in them brought me to tears, all of you commenting can bicker all day as to who the best flight demo team might be but, if there were ever a real threat on our great nation, these are the guys that would be sent to ensure that the threat would no longer be a problem, fyi everyone did you know that given the extreme close proximity that the blues fly( 18 inch separation from wing tip to canopy of next closest jet) they do not wear a "G suit" to combat the G- forces, but tighten their lower extremities(hooking) to keep the blood up in their heads while taking on G- forces ( the water bladder in a G- suit could interfere with manipulation of the stick in the cockpit) there is no margin for error with these guys!, and although the Thunderbirds are exceptional pilots in their own right, I gotta give more credit to a pilot that must land a jet on a matchbook that's pitching and rolling in the middle of the ocean in the middle of the night!, so, waste time arguing who's "best", these pilots are America's greatest show of might, resolve and ability!, I already know who is truly the "best" flight demo team in the world! may the good Lord bless, protect and guide all of America's courageous warriors! and thank God that the United States has such exceptional pilots art her disposal(Thunderbirds and Blues) written with a great deal of respect, admiration, gratitude and sheer awe in ALL of these incredible American's that are willing to don a uniform and protect all that we hold dear! fore without them we would be nothing!
