Blue Angels Depart From Boston!

July 04, 2012 / Logan Int'l Airport
Blue Angels came to town to salute the USS Constitution Turnaround. Seen here is their departure just prior to their flyover. If your wondering, I did not get footage of the flyover.

[@shoofly529]

Dad worked for Grumman in Bethpage, LI, NY, where the F-14 was made. One day a Navy F-14 made an emergency landing there. The plane was repaired & as the pilot prepared for takeoff, all of the employees emptied out the plant's to watch. The plane took off, circled back over the runway, then went directly vertical out of sight! Impressive...& they made the LEM! (& the fighters that took on Japan.)

[@SueK51]

I was on a tour boat that day alongside the USS Constitution. The flyover was amazing; lost a couple of tooth fillings as they went overhead. Glad I was alive to witness this!

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

Saw them arriving and departing once in my City. Awesome sight. They arrive and leave as they fly: four: two and one in numerical order. I got waved at by pilot of #7 because they were right over our house as they left.❤️

[@elli003]

Imagine being on a commercial flight at Logan and seeing this. You know that Blue Angel number 6 plane is trying to talk YOUR pilot into an Immelmann on takeoff. What a treat to see the Blue Angels mixed-in with commercial air traffic ! How cool is that !

[@arttafil6792]

This reminds me of the sign outside of the main gate at MCAS Cherry Point. "Excuse our noise its the sound of freedom"!

[@candicecassel1110]

I never tire of seeing them flying…taking off (my personal favorite)…landing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ them!!!!

[@212bvs]

This is so much more unique than filming the flyover .... this is something I never see on footage, especially with the "tower talk." Great job!!!!

[@Rickybobby913]

The perfection in every movement they do is amazing

[@winonawacker9969]

In the middle sixties, I worked for Goodyear Aerospace in the electronics division located at Goodyear, Arizona. At that time, Litchfield Naval Station was in operation next door to the plant. Every two to three months, the Blue Angels would come to Litchfield to practice for air shows. My department's lunch time, along with seven or eight other departments, was at 11:30, and we got the best shows from the Blue Angels, ever! All of us were sure the group put on their best show just for us!

How many condoms does it take to make a car tyre? .......365 if it's a Good year !

[@1pizzo77]

I find it so neat the formation and communication they have. Like the two planes with the wing acknowledgement its like they speak with their planes and they have awesome comradery.

[@johnmorris008]

Does my heart good to see these birds in action !

[@koalablue80]

If there's anything cooler, I don't know what it is. Love watching the Blue Angels!!

[@TiBossII]

Awesome video...The 130 looks like she is herding her flock to show them how to fly.

[@bartschwartz7217]

TiBossII just thier Verizon of a semi carries all the extras they need

[@davecrupel2817]

Mother plane guiding baby planes XD

[@jimb7738]

They where here in Toronto around 2010 and l had one of them tilt the jet to say hi l have seen them in the skyw over Montania South and both Dakota thank you guys

[@cvanveen57]

That's an awesome video! Thank you for being there so we could enjoy it!

[@RSTI191]

Man talk about a dream job.. Love the tipping the wings Thank you and Good bye" bit at take off...

[@anthonyamoise]

Very cool take off...that's something you dont see everyday. Thanks for uploading and keep up the great work.

[@sanddabz5635]

Even at taxi, the sound of all those jets!

[@dwhitty25]

The amount of 'Badassery' in this taxi and takeoff is staggering.

[@AviationCommercials]

This is why I love living there. You get awesome views like this 24/7 all year

[@foxtrot789]

They flew #7 at El Centro this year when the number 5 malfunctioned - the boys had to all wait, engines running, while the pilot was raced to the extra jet in a truck... Insanely cool to watch them scramble like that and for the pilot to be able to still perform his solo in the stand-by plane... There's a video of the whole thing if ya search for it.

[@EpicLib]

Amazing camera work for all of us planespotters to enjoy :D

[@davidturk6170]

Most of those commercial airline pilots were former (or current reserve) military pilots. You know it brought back memories when they saw the military jets next to them.

[@gummybear41283]

I saw the Blue Angels leave Houston in 1992, I was driving by the end of the runway and I hear a roar to my left and there's a blue F-18 about 40 yards from my car taking off. After that I parked and watched the other ones take off, the last one went straight up with his afterburners on and disappeared

[@byronharano2391]

Nice Bob. Hope you enjoyed.

[@gummybear41283]

@@byronharano2391 ya it was beautiful

[@DredMLM]

Very nice vid!! HD to boot! Saw the Blues at Pease last weekend. Great Show!!

[@luv2co]

Would have loved to see the C-130 take off too. Love the tower talk included.

[@a-hvlogs2046]

[@tikigodsrule2317]

Hey fat Albert deserves some love too.

[@dabking94.19]

[@kevinjredmond8873]

[@jenf777]

Fantastic!!! It was awesome to see this awesome take off - goosebumps!! Huge like and favorite!!!

[@Mom-USMCRichardUSMCChristopher]

jenf777 people are crazy. they don't see the beauty of the entire film with the precision the Blue Angels as they round the turn when they taxi. I really liked your comment... hit the nail on the head! glad that you liked it. so many people are very negative, and life sure is more fun when you can appreciate what you see and what you get. Thank you Semper Fidelis

[@jenf777]

Yup ...so I got up this morning all excited to maybe catch them, looked over at "the Logan's", everywhere - all quiet, didn't see a thing, so, started some tea, couldn't WAIT to watch your video, had just fired it up when - you guessed it - heard an crazy roar down 4R looked up just in time to see the brilliant blue buzzing by and lifting off right in front of me, in formation, amazing and so cool, if only I had a camera!!!

[@NewEnglandAviation]

I use the video pan/crop feature in my editor. Its also called letterboxing.

[@deenasmusicbox]

Such pretty blue birds 🐦

[@emmettcunninghamjr.5207]

Beautiful! I believe the C-130 Hercules is nicknamed "Fat Albert" and is their Support Aircraft Team. Thanks!

[@Sutorius76]

So sick! Thanks for posting!

[@Tcostello105]

I was going to go but I decided not to because it was still raining at 9am when I was going to take the train into town. Wow I really wish I went! Amazing video!

That was really cool and a well rehearsed routine

[@Relics_tv]

awesome shot looks like it came out of a movie!

[@biggestplanefan]

No problem! Hey, I was just wondering... How do you make your video look like a movie with the two bars? It really does give that movie feeling. Like how do you put the bars?

[@pamelaonduso9480]

Seriously cool footage..great camera work Sir....

[@_rdcn3134]

Cool vid thankyou for the post👍🏾!! @3:09 Angel 5 & 6 wave off ✌🏾goodbye after take off before Angel 7 #Salute

I'd love to be riding in one of those escort trucks.

[@AndersMagrioteli]

Wow! That was bloody awesome to watch.

[@WHUFC71]

Just perfect every time!

[@worthcamp6105]

GREAT TEAM that always inspires the spectators and retired Naval Air retirees like me at 80+ years old. Today, I am a retired CAPT, USNR-RET. I was with VHA (Heavy) 8, Whidbey Island, a squadron flying twin jet A3D Sky Warriors. We were embarked with an 85 plane Air Group, aboard the USS Midway, CVA41 in West Pac. We were part of the TAIWAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE OF 1958. The Midway was commissioned in 1945, received an angle deck in 1956, and named to memorialize the WW II Battle of Midway. It is now a Naval Air Museum in San Diego CA. - RESPECTFULLY - Oliver Worth Camp, Jr., a retired Attorney, from Boom-Town, now FESTIVAL CITY, ElDorado, in South ARK on US 82 at US 167. Y'ALL LOOK US UP at goeldorado.com.

[@1000saib]

May God protect these guys. Amen!

[@barbaralane9146]

WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM IN PERSON!!

[@johnaconservativevet361]

Barbara Lane come on down to Pensacola. They practice every Tuesday and Thursday when they aren’t on the road. We LOVE our Blues in their hometown here!!!!

[@j.peters3053]

Those are so cool!

[@bobdonovan34]

They were making a Dunkin Donuts run for the boys back at the base.

[@NewEnglandAviation]

Thanks! Did they take off today?

[@TheRideBo]

[@Supercell2]

Love how they call #1 boss

[@gforrest2000]

Great video! Do you film from Orient Heights Yacht Club? I keep my boat at East Boston Yacht Club. We were out on the harbor for the Blue Angels flyover and the Constitution. That was a great day.

[@NewEnglandAviation]

Yes sir, well next to it on Bayswater!

[@larrysnow1525]

Love to be one of those pilots

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

Now that was super cool!😎

[@janinebell763]

Fantastic so great to see.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Very cool!!!

[@SMcCaskill]

One of the most awesome things is to have the Blue Angels fly overhead you. Didn't have enough time to aim my camera up.

[@jackjones3657]

Just another day at work in the F18, not a bad gig.

[@lelleithmurray235]

That was so cool!

[@ppipowerclass]

This is the last video I will watch this decade, and I am ok with that.

[@gregoryrush1643]

While supremely cool, nothing will top the time as a kid I saw the space shuttle Enterprise on the back of a 747 land in Oklahoma City.

[@hoopsheavenpa]

Great vids! I wonder how much wake turbulence multiple departing F/A 18's create?

[@curtekstrom6600]

Doesn't matter, it's all good.

[@jacplanespotting314]

Great video!

[@caribbaviator7058]

Here those car alarms lol awesome!!!!

[@gregory46236]

3:10 wing wave. Thank you Boston

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

Had to be such a cool moment for the controller

[@MrCraig625]

[@lycoming333]

So cool!

[@williamphillips6049]

Does anyone have any idea how much it costs us to keep these guys in the air?

[@ObamaFromKenya]

William Phillips trump doesn’t care why should you🤷‍♂️

[@utethornburg7715]

Blue angels and a Herc. Man that is exciting

[@gingerhammond6446]

There is no one as bad ass as a US Naval aviator!

[@express49]

Rare , brilliant!!!

[@evanbenjamin4578]

Keep em at it Skipper of @USNBlueAngels ..🇺🇸✡🎯

[@stuartgarfatth1448]

The way they're bouncing as they taxi seems like they're rolling on a corrugated country road, a bit of a rough length of tarmac !.

[@jaimef514]

Beautiful. Proud to be American. 😁👍🇺🇸

[@vincentnigro1496]

You said it, Jaimie!

[@buckstaffvvile9064]

Thanks for the video. Wished I could fly but vision too poor.

[@jjhlk6737]

You should have laid in the Kenny Loggins Danger Zone music in when they took off.

[@matthewcrich5951]

jjh lk. You're joking, I hope. Let the jet engines speak for themselves.

[@JetstreamPhotography]

awesome!

[@heyjude4842]

Poetry in motion

[@rbjanitorialprod]

Beautiful

[@thefridgeman]

'Murica! Going down one dreamer at a time.

[@vasily2022]

So wake turbulence is only for commercial planes?

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

yep, fighters really don't deal with it

[@LaKellita]

This must have been filmed from Constitution Beach, right?

[@xreconusmc3156]

Thanks for watching captain and shift commander LaBonte air mobility command slot pilot.

[@saucejohnson9862]

Always a sad day when the Blue Angels leave.
