US Navy Blue Angels Fly TOO CLOSE, Then THIS Happened... 

What do you think is the most challenging aspect of the Blue Angels' performances: the precision required in their formations, the ability to handle G-forces, or the constant vigilance against potential mid-air collisions? Let us know your thoughts below! 👇

The Blues were my introduction to jets,Naval Aviation,and air shows. When I was ten,I'll be sixty eight in August. I still love to watch them fly. One point to make,they perform military maneuvers,not stunts.

I get to see them fly twice a week, great to live in Pensacola!

I flew Navy jets and many times in close diamond formation. You just have to give full attention.

Excellent Photography 🇺🇸✨🏆

I'm almost 66 years old and I've seen them fly F-4s, A-4s and F/A-18s.

These guys are the elite.

I've said this all along, They are the Best of the Best. Great Team Work equals a great Display & a Safe One . Very Awesome. Regards

The upside maneuver is breathtaking!

❤ Blue Angels- in La Crosse, WI today

Watch the Blue Angel flight done to the song Kickstart My Heart. The #5 plane/pilot shown later crashed. The town has a memorial to the pilot.

They have traded paint and bent medal in the past, but they are still the best of the best.

I love the USAF Thunderbirds

amazing

LOL “typically one aircraft leads the formation” Yea, you will never have more than one leader in formation.

Also I was stationed on the USS Enterprise from June 77-May 78 , and see a lot of different aircraft ( we called them planes while onboard the ship) launch and recover while in training.

Those round intakes make me question whether these are, in fact, super hornets?

Delta is formed 2 do the missing man when I lived in Jaxsonville the blue angels wood practice monthly by us nas on the Saint John's reaver😅

I have enjoyed watching them over the years,when i was a child planes would drop bombs and fire rockets into a big cargo plane.

As per You blue Angels, Do you as your Up flying in the sky , Is all the Jett’s fixed so you can do in flight re fueling ?? As your On your way going your next airshow wherever that may be at ??

Here is a question, in Top Gun would it be possible for a f14 Tom Cat to fly with each canopy as close as they did with that Mig 28?

Smyrna Tennessee

To be able to do all at the same time. WOW ! INCREDIBLE ! GODSPEED ! 🫡

Chicago 2008 💯 😊😊

The 7 jet is used for celebrity/news reporter flights. Clearly YOU don't know what you are talking about. P. S.the most dangerous maneuver is the diamond roll in the Yankee set!!

Dangerous display team

" 5 to 7" jets.....they only fly a maximum of 6....clearly you have no idea what you are talking about

Also, pilots are not going to take their hands off the throttle or control stick during a close airobatic manuever to give a hand signal! If they get too close or something else goes wrong, each pilot must know exactly what to do and do their part to safely break from the fornation and avoud a collusion. Also, except for the two solo pilots that rarely join with the formation except for a couple maneuvers, nearky all verbal communication during a formation is done only by the lead pilot. Even the spoed and tone of his voice, as well as tge actual wrods he says, communicates what he is starting to do and what he continues to do through the entire maneuver.

A lot of your footage is not from their new super hornets. They don't fly as close as they did in the previous f-18a

Yes one did dy 2 years ago

Why don't the Blue Angel pilots not wear G-suits?

Some of the info and video used is crap...... Drills???? How about practice. Also they do not use hand signals while flying to communicate. Death defying STUNTS... they dont do stunts. There is only one person that is communicating... #1 Boss. Well , I just wasted 20 min. of my life.

Umm...sorry to inform you, but neither the Blue Angels, nor any other sane flight demonstration teams fly formation in fog or clouds. Not only can they not maintain their accurate visual separation in those conditions, but nobody on the ground would be able to see those maneuvers! The Blue Angels have several demonstrations they train to fly. If the sky is clear, the usually fly their full altitude demo. If skies are cloudy but the ceiling is above I think it's 4000 feet(perhaps 6000), they fly their low altitude demo staying below the cloud layer. If the ceiling is too low, the cancel their demo and wait for clearer conditions. Yes, these jets can fly by instruments in certain conditions, but aerobatics are not flown under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules), only under VFR (Visual Flight Rules). Perhaps you should hire someone who actually knows aviation regulations and technical information to both write and read your scripts. This clearly unknowledgable script gives me no interest in either liking or subscribing yo your channel.

20 years ago in Mt, my son got a tee shirt signed by all the pilots.
