I was a volunteer at the 2012 show and I had a golden blast of a time, all three days,will never forget it. And I'm gonna do it again, maybe in 2018,see you there!
you prolly dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream all the new series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last couple of weeks =)
@AviationFreak#1 I was there. I recorded the F-16 flyby at around 650 mph. It's funny how some of the Blue Angel pilots tried to scare us by making us focus on one of them and the other came out of nowhere. I go to Wings Over Houston every year. I had a huge sunburn on my face after the whole show. I really wanted them to fly the C-17 and Fat Albert.
Kinda curious as to why the boss forgot the 'smoke on' call on the farvel and echelon parade. Also, looking at my photos, I noticed in the latter, number two alone had his speed brake extended throughout the pass. Never seen that before..
Perriwen Plays there could be many reasons why he didn't call for smoke. I have seen where one pilots smoke wouldn't work so none of them used it. And what do you mean by ladder? Thanks for watching
Echelon parade. You can't see it in the video, but, in the photos I have from this air show you can see number two has his speed brakes out throughout the pass, while no one else does. I'm assuming he was doing it because he was having trouble staying in formation otherwise, I've just never seen it before. www.flickr.com/photos/perriwenphotography/25326156349/in/album-72157674992071772/ www.flickr.com/photos/perriwenphotography/30873800401/in/album-72157674992071772/
Perriwen Plays hmm. That is strange. It would seem strange to keep it up through the entire maneuver, so there must have been a good reason. Maybe there was a problem with the smoke and he was running the engines up a bit to see if he could fix it. There's many explanations as to what could have happened hahaha. Thanks again for watching
I always check out all Blue Angel videos. I guess my point was that if I can't see them doing their maneuvers closeup, then watching videos where they fly off into the sky and they look like dots, its just not as good as someone that's using a video camera that zooms in and out to give you the closest shots of them as you can get. I get it, that in today's world now, that the only option people have while their there, is to use a phone camera. Something is better than nothing. But if someone is serious at doing aviation videos it pays to do the best you can. spencerhughes2255 videos are good to watch and get the technique as to how to do it. Not saying anyone should copy his way, but figure our your own creativity.
