2023 Blue Angels 

So sad when Blue angels made a sched exhibition in San Francisco I was in Los Angeles at that time. I really missed them.

❤ Blue Angel - Thunderbirds.

Something that makes me feel GOOD about paying taxes.

@Sandielindemeyer • As a proud Canadian🇨🇦 we have the awesome “Snowbirds”✈️ in which are in the city i live in which is London,Ontario,Canada where the Canadian “Snowbirds” will be putting on another dazzling show this weekend for us London citizens. And i have nothing but respect for the American 🇺🇸 “Blue Angels” 🤙 & every time i hear the name “Thunderbirds” i can’t help but chuckle because for a certain age group there use to be this 1960’s & 1970’s TV show called “THUNDERBIRDS” which was a kids tv program but not cartoons but “puppets” on strings which is super hard to do plus all the detail that went into each puppet & all the scenery back ground etc that went into creating that kids tv program & the famous saying for the start of the show… “THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO”!!! LOL!! I don’t think i’ve ever seen the real “Thunderbirds” though in which i’ll check out after this magical masterpiece of aviation greatness & to my American🇺🇸 friends please check out the Canadian “Snowbirds” 🤙

Saw them featured on a TV documentary many years ago. Very impressive. Their name should be changed, though. Reminds me of that Ann Murray "Snowbird" song: "spread your tiny wings and fly awaaaaay....."@@sudsysutherland359

Katie Higgins was the first Blue Angel Pilot in 2014.

@@dawnteed4469You are both partially correct. You can hear Amanda reply that she is the first female F/A-18 demo pilot in the Blue Angels, Katie flew the C-130 named Fat Albert for the Blue Angels.

Hear! Hear!!

And far better pilots were overlooked because of this.

#3 position. I was stationed in PENSACOLA where the Blues are headquartered. '69 thru '72

Proud of you too. I was a C141 mechanic for USAF 1979 to 84… also trained to fly on Cessna 150. Ladies flew in WWll also. My cousin is retired pilot from United Airlines. She began around 1980.

we all know that she made it because of the gender quota...come on.

@DieselPlays carved in stone FACT!! I've seen it happen: they get anything they want ...with the help of kneepads (more FACT !!)

@saedrix9807 calm down white Knight. We live in the time of gender and representation quota. There are thousands of Navy F18 pilots. More men than women. So in terms of probability she already loses out. She may be truly good, but probability states that there is a high likelihood of other men being on par or better than her. It is simple math. Doesn't help her case much with the woke era we live in. Bring this back 20 years ago, I'd agree that it was purely based on her skills. Now, nah! Facts hurt, so just take a seat.

Oh boy ! Do not compare them to the Hollywood. Most actors and actresses sold their souls to China for dirty money. Hollywood now is all filled with trash (a lot of immoral people and business are in it).

ОДНОЗНАЧНО!!!

100 percent facts

Men and women

Congrats to her and you should be that's an honour!

They are great motivators.

Didn't know they perform there. Does Canada have comparable flight teams? Do you have them at big air shows?

​@dotmurphy7279 yes! Called the Snowbirds!

Right?!? I saw her walk out the flightline and said “Holy shit, they did it!” Lt. Amanda Lee, #3 left wing. Hot damn!!!

Yes a number of years back when they had several crashes. That hurt , the crashs that happened. They kept at it and cleared up the problems. Sure is fine to see them performing.

First female tactical demonstration pilots. I believe that distinction needs to be noted, because women have had a long history of service with the team. But her achievement is noteworthy.

I just saw a video of Blue Angels & Thunderbirds as a team. They were great together as much as they act or seem like rivals .

I agree. Amazing video. 👍

I’m Canadian 🍁🇨🇦🍁 - but thank you for your service:)

Actually, both teams will performing along side one another in just a few weeks there in California.

you will be suprised how many times this actually happens. growing up as an air force brat. they usually preform a ton of shows together

@SpadesPlusYT58 Sounds like a bad Air Force joke to me.

@Phillip Banes Oh yeah, the navy doesnt operate aircraft, its only the 2nd largest airpower on the planet.

​@@phillipbanes5484Wait till this guy finds out what a Navy SEAL is

My son flys F18s also

My uncle was with the team from 62-64 lt George neale

I have always called the Blue Angels "AMERICAS ANGELS" ABSOLUTE BADASSERY

German - Swiss American here! Thanks for your support! 🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

2nd Blue Angel pilot?

Really? Imagine your 18-year-old loved one has just enlisted in the Navy She calls to explain that she is confused because a person "with a penis" was in her locker room shower today. Your response, Darling we love you but, the new DoD Policy of Gender Equality permits people with a PENIS to be in the female locker room. Darling, if you complain, you will be held accountable and have an EEO complaint filed against you. This complaint will prevent you from being promoted and very likely will cause you to be demoted. Our country is in serious peril because this is REAL and happening now. lamborn.house.gov/media/in-the-news/navy-guidance-trans-men-can-use-facility-corresponds-their-gender-identity

I totally agree 100 %

My first airshow was neptune festival weekend as oceana naval air station

1979

Once you're introduced, your whole life changes....

The T Birds have a female 'demo' team pilot for years,,,

So you didn’t think a female could do this and why does her gender even have to be brought up?

I wonder if she made the team….simply because of her gender….hmmm ?

Lowering the standards for women seems to be working. 👏

@@caspertheghost9999 this the first demo pilot for the blues
