0:37 the two in the middle change position in sync, while staying in tight formation, while all climb slowly... ffs how good are these guys?

[@DraconianGhost]

They’re the blue angels.... the best

[@Cheeto_Fingerz]

They’re better than most mortals can comprehend. There’s being good, being great, being the best, being better than the best, and being legendary. And then there’s being a Blue Angel.

[@JuanGarcia-bd1rm]

I was honestly expecting it to be like a gender reveal with smoke but we got triplets instead

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

I love. How the front gear doors close and abra-cadabra three jets appear. Being in the Annapolis Maryland area we see them every year I remember the F-11 Tigercat, F4 Phantom, A4 . Always entertaining and professional.

[@bradenthacker6226]

Donald Parlett jr oh so that was the "surprise". Not really that surprising, you kind of expect them to be there....

[@MikeHotel29]

Braden Thacker yes agree with you, they are already 4 during the take-off roll so ... I was expecting something else !

[@lw216316]

Wow, that put a smile on my face! That camera angle was great...would like to see more of that.

[@timcaffell6330]

I was there too!... could watch them all day.

[@bigmac3006]

I literally laughed out loud when those doors shut. This is going out to all my buds!!

[@John_Be]

I was there for the show. They were Awesome!!! We got the extended duration version because they had a jet with a problem and had to swap it out.

[@samu_cornia9991]

John B damn that means you never seen the italian version of the blue angels...

[@ariyon7274]

[@fikridjojo]

0:19 hello there

[@Red-rl1xx]

Love the Blues! Love Aiirsource Military!👍

[@michaelpeterson4348]

These are our heroes !

[@MKW31]

I thought it was one plane xD

[@eceetv4280]

Haha same.

[@azhar5093]

Yah same

[@EdGhost]

Same

[@dgoddard]

There's badass and then there's Blue Angels badass.

[@joshuawhitman8254]

Maybe surprising to an infant who is still surprised by a parent playing peekaboo with their hands... You can see all four jets simultaneously for the first minute of the video. It was the first thing I noticed, before anyone even moved.

[@aheckers]

That was worth the price of admission Thanks, you

[@mikegeorgius7589]

Raw ass camera angle...

[@jacobhamilton9016]

Happy Independence Day MERICA

[@alfbeef5880]

Best part about living in Pensacola is the free Blue Angel air shows every Tuesday and Thursday between the hours of 11 and 2..

[@cameronyoung2004]

I miss Pensacola. The aviation museum was my favorites growing up with Myrle Grove being my home beach. I miss you too Angels.

[@EmporerOfMankind40k]

Was anyone else at MacDill yesterday for the Tampa Air Fest???? These guys were amazing!

[@justins.1283]

Ethan Mooney I have been many times in the past when McDill was still a training base. Most memorable was when they unveiled the F-117 and had it on a pedestal with armed guards that wouldn't let you closer than 50ft to it.Could see much of the top either

[@sumrica]

I really like the view...the camera placement.

[@anthonypetercoleman339]

I always get so amped watching these guys

[@johnlivingstone8591]

I don't want to alarm the pilot, but there's planes that want to pass and their right up you ass. Brilliant show.

[@Cougarnaut]

Brilliant Video!

[@PaulCantSleep]

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen fat Albert fly over your head

[@crsvetteii1753]

So what is the surprise?? These guys are indeed the best of th best. No surprise there!

[@CharlieGolfAviation]

Now this is super cool!! Amazing!

[@time.5316]

Nice!! Notice how smoothly they maneuver ...

[@ankitmeena_ind]

Ultimate video, bohot shaandar bhiya 1 number dil khus kar diya waah waah mja aagya re

[@Snowwhite33142]

Awesome! Great video!

[@SuperiorAmericanGuy]

I’m such a big fan of the blue angels. I have almost every merchandise of the blue angels including toy blue angels F-18s and posters of the blue angels.

[@choward874]

I'll be back in Pensacola Florida next month and I'm gonna see em again this year can't wait!

[@hupaviation7568]

Nice video, I love the Blue angels and this is really cool 👌

[@limescaleonetwo3131]

seriously hard to find something COOLER than this

[@arussianspy4147]

Pugachev's Cobra?

[@limescaleonetwo3131]

A_Russian_Spy that's just a novelty that's impressive once.

[@arussianspy4147]

So is aileron roll or a low altitude high speed fly by over an airport and the "suprise" wasn't even impressive. This are pretty basic manuevers. Russian, chinese, really any skilled pilot can do those manuevers.

[@arussianspy4147]

I prefer watching planes doing cobras than an aileron roll. One is just harder to do than the other. That's what's impressive about it.

[@nunyabidness2391]

Only Trump as President would be, then this gets 2nd ....

[@cornellwaters9089]

✈️ Thank You!

[@1farp]

SURPRISE!!! Their B model AND their D model TWO Seaters are flying the DIAMOND. The B model is renumbered (which those large tail numbers are adhesives) as #2.....with the D model probably renumbered as #4.....#3 is a C model.....The 2 seaters are not always #7's as people assume. They can hide them in 'plane' sight while utilizing them as 'spares' during practices and performances.

[@matiasstieben2372]

excelente video!.

[@calegarieliton]

Fantastic Strong like..

[@GeneralBlackbird]

Fellows, we'll are glad to see you at MAKS. Come together!

[@JamesSmith-ln8vc]

Ok you wowed me!

[@ronaldstewart6332]

Great vid!!!!

[@Sam26LE]

EXCELLENT

[@blackbetty4592]

The best show on earth!!!

[@SeanHollingsworth]

I love how quickly they get airborne!!! ;-)

[@laseonestar]

Sweeeet view.. Awesome video thx for sharing ;-)

[@AmmonE24]

I remember living in Pensacola FL and my dad worked on the base where they where at and every time the blue angels flew they flew right over my house

[@killer2600]

Bunch of show offs. I can't afford a F-18, you don't have to rub it in my face that you have one with all your tricks.

[@user-wc4mg2yt4f]

*_Классное видео._* 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🙄

[@MrChrisbain]

Wow amazing surprise, couldn't see anything

[@Reaper9230Twitch]

Nobody else noticed the nose of the 2 side planes? Was only surprised by the one in back.

[@bellatomau196]

at 0:11 you can see all four

[@nigelmorris4769]

Cool video the camera flashes from the ground look like they was doing a striffing run

[@txav8tion]

Amazing view! great flying. Sign me up!

[@shresthaprajit]

What a surprise at 0:19 with another 3planes

[@robertzosa4789]

fucking awesome with a kick ass perspective

[@Dolphinvideoproductions]

Awesome camera angle

[@kdabaviation5032]

Awesome!

[@maine_life_207]

Extremely awesome😀

[@EugenioGuarente]

Amazing.

[@rdglde3087]

Great footage! Interesting to see #2 is a two seat (B/D) model. It's been awhile since I've seen the Blues fly but I thought #7 was the 2 seater. They must be running out of C models. I know the USMC are having problems finding parts for their first gen Hornets.

[@thompsonmegaminecraft3184]

Rdglde 30 they use 2 of them for VIP rides

[@rescobar8572]

SURPRISE! Lol, The BA rock each in their Lagacy!

[@CadillacM]

This reminds me of that southwest fight I took a few days ago.

[@jamessomying]

Brilliant.

[@MrLupold]

so Cool!

[@zulgadams5837]

really nice!

[@TheLastArbiter]

That was a cool shot

[@dravegeta]

I like it. It's amazing .

[@flyjarrett]

Where can you see the entire show from this perspective?

[@thomastherrell9351]

I'm not surprised that i wasn't surprised. It's no surprise for this happens all the time.

[@spanieaj]

Why would I be surprised that there were other Blue Angels taking off at the same time?

[@birgirgujonsson1254]

still waiting for the takeoff surprise ????

[@hydr0mage656]

Me n the boys in 3069 flying our spaceships in formation.

[@sergeykarnaushenko9351]

I didn't see a surprise. I already see the jets on the sides before they take off. But the show is pretty cool.

[@jeffcoat1959]

Would love to see a photo of the camera and how it was mounted.

[@John_Be]

AiirSource Military were you able to get anything from the F-35 that was there he was pretty awesome too!

[@John_Be]

It was free and open to the public... Okay yes you did get searched by the Marines but come on they let you onto the base and gave you a cool ass show for free! THEN my 3 year old tried to start the tank. That was awkward when the soldier handed him back to me in a flash saying he keeps trying to start it. What could I say? That's my baby boy! If it had been a jet... Watch OUT!

[@RuggedCreative]

Sweet video, truly. But no surprises

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I must have missed the surprise, but it was still cool.

[@lurlynsagandilan8991]

Wow!

[@fazeryan9962]

When I am an adult I want to be in the air force because I want to help our country

[@bingobango170]

THose f22 jets are awesome !

[@Seanthefox]

Those are F-18s

[@bingobango170]

Sean O'Dea lol. Nope.

[@Seanthefox]

+Bingo Bango Those are F-18 Hornets. An F-22 looks completely different. Look it up.

[@mroceans8336]

Sean O'Dea don’t feed the troll

[@captainbuttnuggets4786]

Bad ass!

[@christiner6325]

Where was this?

[@felipetvictor]

Very top !!! Like 🇧🇷

[@TabSansouciTinkerbell]

Cool

[@fanofCOH]

Those dudes are so duckin cool

[@larrypuckett1075]

OK, so what was the surprise that was revealed during takeoff? Looked like a normal takeoff for the Blue Angels.

[@delten-eleven1910]

Larry Puckett: I was thinking the same too, I think the surprise was the flanking Angels that were hidden from view until after wheels up.

[@Karuiko]

It's just taking off, then the landing gear doors retract and, Surprise! 3 other Hornets in formation.

[@matsta177]

That's not a surprise. Their called the blue angels, not the blue angel. The surprise would have been if their were no others.

[@THELANKANCOMRADE]

The surprise were the 3 other blue angles nicely hidden away by the gear doors.

[@matsta177]

Well done Vidura, did you think of that yourself?

[@kamleshsah2580]

Making it's ossum

[@kolbeviator1374]

If the suprise was the other planes you could see their noses in the beginning

[@whyohwhy357]

I thought I was gonna see a huge python dangle down then get pinched in the doors or maybe Donald Trumps toupee´ gettin a proper blow drying. But then again Im on strong painkillers from surgery yesterday

[@whyohwhy357]

Honeysuckle Blossom glad I could help!!!

[@professorpatpending8731]

Good footage. aAn ambiguous title for this video.

[@hammertime964]

What about the plane resting at the end of their runway as they grouped???

[@kkoolboy16]

Is it just me or the military is flexing on us on how they’re jets are cool

[@azdigbee]

Still waiting for the surprise during takeoff.

[@rbro3646]

They got nice toys

[@bobrosso9147]

Cherry Point.....my PDS from '76 to '79

[@tomshenanigan]

what was the surprise again?

[@andrewking6431]

They cut the best part of the original video out....

[@richardmitchell3037]

Two seater on right wing was the surprise for me, otherwise great video!

[@tjv-logs]

I did not see a "suprise" dont know what that means?

[@chongyys7496]

I was there it was pretty cool, got really hot at the end.

[@LeonardoDaudinot]

f@kin cool

[@bockkenneth628]

Ammuria!
