I’ve said it before and will say it again, Spencer. Your camera produces the most clear and vivid colors, the microphone the most authentic sounds, and your choice of recording locations so advantageous, it is the next best thing to being there. Thanks for providing this great content. 👍👍👍

I could live at the end of that runway forever....

[@greenfire6924]

Beautiful work Spencer! I always chuckle at the upside-down number on the T-birds Lead Solo.

[@rickwilliamson9248]

The #5 is upside down (dare I say, 'inverted'?) on the flight suit as well.

[@nightflight6877]

That #5 departure is legendary.

[@fight2flyphoto]

That takeoff perspective is absolutely the best I've ever seen. The distance compression, the framing... freaking mind blowing.

[@victorthesportmaster8225]

Fantastic one!

[@victorthesportmaster8225]

Those are some fast aeroplanes!

[@Coop22]

Beautiful as always Spencer!

[@chrishopkins8987]

Fantastic work Spencer!

[@Michael-xo8lw]

Your framing of the solo's takeoff as the diamond was passing beyond was excellent.

[@JusticeLeagueJH]

Quality content is worth waiting for. 👍💎🔥🌩️💥

[@markfurchtenicht8274]

Absolutely great job videoing this! 👌

[@pangelos44]

Excellent footage! 👍

[@edutaimentcartoys]

wow, amazing video ... blue angels always demonstrate extraordinary flying maneuvers

[@TheJosh787]

Incredible footage!

[@le3754]

If only I could go up in one of these.. Lol.. I love it!!!!

[@RolandF1822]

Awesome job on the fleet jets too.

[@Brian-WolfmanJack99]

I REALLY want to do a ride along with one of these teams! I want to be the guy in the back of Blue 5 when it took off 😅 The Blue Angles are out of Pensacola, FL but this looks like somewhere in the southwest.

El Centro, CA. The Blues' winter base.

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Quality video Spencer.

[@DAJTheYouTuber_2007]

i can tell they're gonna have a good season this year

[@jimlack8292]

Great videos. Your videos are a bit higher quailty than others that post Blue Angel practice postings. Keep up the good work.

[@user-ew8ed1mm3t]

Great video recording. You have an amazing camera, wow! Best so far. What kind of camera gives such a clear picture?

[@JPMGuitarPicker]

With regard to the 2 #3’s-During Winter Training the prime concern is having 6 jets ready 2 to 3 times per day. They don’t pay a much attention to the numbers on the jets. They are just huge decals. Come show week they will ensure the proper numbers are on the jets flown by the appropriate pilot.

[@spencerhughes2255]

Correct.

[@Nastafar]

Love your work dude. What kind of camera do you use that captures this amazing sound?

[@spencerhughes2255]

I use a Canon XF400 but I don't use the camera mic. I use an external Rode stereo mic X.

[@ringofthebrave]

17:30 Airspeed means life. Except for No. 5

[@greenfire6924]

On second view it appears that FA-18F 262 at 13:38 as no WSO on board. A few moments later ship 232 also has no WSO. I've never seen this. Are my eyes tricking me? Regardless I always have a lot to learn.

[@RockyAllenLane]

More landing gear problems ... No. 6. on take-off at 1:23.

[@user-xj7cc5xz5v]

Two left wings (#3)?

[@rickwilliamson9248]

Isn't the TB slot plane supposed to be a bit just a tad bit closer?

[@greenfire6924]

Nope. Not when fitted with a centerline cargo carrying pod.

[@Avofan]

Are the T-Birds going to be there the rest of the of this week?

[@Deionburns114]

Nicee

[@MrBookman78]

If you were to ask me which I prefer: Blue Angels or Thunderbirds, my answer would be YES! 😂

[@chrisedwardsPHA734]

GREAT VIDEO! IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER, WITH EITHER SOME, "CLARITY", OR LESS, RECTUL MUMBLING, INTO THE MICROPHONE! REGARDLESS OF"WHAT" IT ACTUALLY WAS!! AN' THATS ALL I GOT, TO SAY, BOUT THAT!@👍👍

[@spencerhughes2255]

The mumbling you’re hearing is the high winds.

[@douglasdegraff8335]

I'm sorry but, what was Amanda Lee's aircraft number? I know her aviation call sign is " Stalin "

[@spencerhughes2255]

4

[@bettyhills4101]
