How many people replayed that ending over and over? Lol. Awesome

[@Ray-dv3nz]

[@xtofficial9643]

The Should have played danger zone after that flyby seams appropriate 🤘

Aye 🙋

Feeling it in your chest never gets old.

[@yeoos4578]

Yea

[@sawatisbillings8759]

NEVER

[@ryans6280]

I think this is the sneakiest sneak pass I've ever seen

[@mcmjr405]

They always build up to the sneak pass.. worth the wait!

[@Mistaphelps]

That dude was ZOOMING 😂😂😂

[@mrbeez8631]

Talk about goose bumps with the low pass! Never gets old!

[@DemonsFPV]

I was there from Australia that year and must of only been meters to the left of you mate.. I distinctly remember that... it was right above me and scared the crap out of me. thanks for posting this.. visiting chicago was the best time iv had in my life.

[@dannystoddard1730]

I’m from Chicago. Best city in the world

I thought Ausies would be harder to scare. Given that you guys swim with crocs and BBQ with body building kangaroos :D

Spectacular day , beautiful city, brave men , and so many proud folks having a great time. I prayed and dreamt of coming to USA as I was growing up in the middle east. I am so happy and grateful to be an American for thirty plus years...

[@shufflnshine3097]

Yep. Spectacular day. A beautiful, corrupt, violent city, plus everything else you said.

[@burntorange3]

@@shufflnshine3097There's always one ****head who shows up and ruins a very nice comment. What's your problem?

[@shufflnshine3097]

@@burntorange3 You're going to start milling me without first asking for a factual base? That's not unusual for what I find on You Tube, but nonetheless it's an ad hominem attack. Normally I brush over such juvenile comments, but this time (1 in 1,000) I'm attempting to open a dialogue. It's not my problem. It's the city of Chicago's problem. From January to October of 2023, there have been 2,110 shootings and 522 homicides. On USA Crime I saw a dash cam video of 6 people fighting in the middle of a street outside a night club and a car mowing them down in a car at high speed. Three of the 6 died with one more seriously injured. The author of this thread stated, "Spectacular day , beautiful city, brave men , and so many proud folks having a great time." That's only because they were in a crime-free area of the city enjoying their safety. Violent crime is getting worse and it's expanding into the suburbs. The disease is spreading!

[@DaylightDigital]

The Left Echelon Roll is almost always followed by the Sneak Pass in the demo, so you know what to look out for and can watch for it

[@mcmjr405]

DaylightDigital yet it always happens to get reactions as if it’s not expected..

[@CleanPickleRelish]

The dude with the bright blue hat (center/right of screen) was looking out for it I think

[@windwalker5765]

Yeah, but don't tell the newbies, we need entertainment!

[@scottmalone9921]

That's called DEFENSE! God Bless those brave men and women. USA!!!

[@JohnSmith-sj9dk]

this is the most legendary speed pass i have seen

[@coldstonestunners]

Yeah this is the one

[@risingrightside]

The one that sends tents and umbrellas into the air is great too.

[@roadking99jokerst60]

Saw them in Lincoln Ne some years ago. They got you watching in the distance while one comes up from behind and next thing you're out of your skin. I looked over at Dad ( WW2 ball turret gunner ), and he had the biggest grin.

[@kefka1911]

Lots of bullshiat in that story but sure. Whatever

[@Rwalt61]

You've been sneak passed.

The Thunderbirds do the same sneak attack. If you ever get a chance to see an air show do it, you will love it.

[@hackcult3738]

That scared the shit out of me. I had headphones on

Best part of show!

Only people from the Blue Angels home town of Pensacola Florida know how special that part of the Demo is Priceless Reactions!!!....😂❤

[@hypefilms6061]

Holy shitt!!!!!!!!! Watch this video 100 times in this week😂😂😂😂😂

[@negligence2533]

imagine bringing nerf guns with your friends at the beach and building mini trenches acting like you're on the battlefield

[@majorconcern2278]

I remember this, it was my first air and water show

[@jasonmartin5154]

The "Sneak Pass" I know it's comming! But love it!!

[@sttarch5150]

I live in Annapolis. Every year they fly within a couple hundred feet of my house. They use my next door neighbors house on a hill as a way point. We can see the pilot clearly. When my neighbor was young enough to wear a bikini, they tipped their wing above her during practice.

[@westonadams7135]

Its cool when they tip their wings at you.. squadron of A-10 warthogs flew low while I was fishing at Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma, cool shit. I made sure I wore my hot pink bikini!

[@johnhussey6076]

I slowed it down to .25 speed, makes the guy's laugh after the quick pass sounds like the sloth from the movie Zootopia.

[@allanhood8402]

We go to the Blue Angels show at the Pensacola FL Naval station Always love those low altitude fly overs a bone chilling feeling.

[@wilfstor3078]

The Snowbirds do it up here in Canada. But when they do it. It's three new aircraft that weren't part of the original group so you never know when it's going to happen.

[@I_Bully_The_Bullies]

I do this to people when I’m on the freeway. And I blow right by them. While in my 2016 red C7 ZO6 corvette. 🤷🏽‍♂️😈😈😈🤣🤣🤣

[@jtocwru]

The dude with the backwards baseball cap (talking to The American Flag) is clearly more interested in the blonde than the F-18s

[@APixieNinja]

I remember when I was a kid, and seeing them and being terrified at how close to each other they were. 😂 I was genuinely scared for them, like they didnt know what they were doin. 🤣

[@b3j8]

The Thunderbirds pull that sneaky move too where one plane buzzes the crowd. Even when you see it coming, still jump abit. LOL Great stuff!

[@Zaxby722]

Lmao early on the idea of the sneak pass and it still nails you, so much fun and so awesome.

[@counciousstream]

The old sneak in behind and scare the shit out of you move. Even when you know it's coming it gets you!

[@cjcarter5667]

I love how they distract you and then bomb you

[@kimarimcwillis5610]

i never thought a jet could sneak up on you

[@danromero3385]

wow...that was amazing!!!

[@5950ziel]

Amazing, would love to be there at that exact point in time.

[@darklordojeda]

Damn that is what i call a low high speed pass.

[@blackbeardgamer5909]

No way was he more than 100 feet in the air! That was great lol

[@Skoot61]

- Haha... the Thunderbirds did a very similar very low pass right over us in Atlantic City, NJ last year... Wakes you right up!

[@tomkoa521]

He almost got that bird!! 😂🇺🇸🤘

[@Mickcotton]

Wow ❤️❤️ That was Absolutely Amazing. 😎✅

[@jamesbrooks7716]

That's A Good Sneak ... Daaamm my heart beats just went up 100 more LOL... Nice Video mate, Thanks for sharing it with us here... Smoke ON Ready Now..🙏🏼🤘🏼👍👍👍

The truly scary part is on the battlefield you never hear them, because you’re dead…

God DAYUM

[@oldpain7625]

I want to go to an airshow where the entire thing is like the ending. Make everyone who didn't shit their pants shit their pants.

Sneak low passes are the fun bit 👍

[@matlab6156]

amazing

[@eloisaguingo7240]

Fantastic!

[@Nicofioo]

They are so beautiful

[@jambajuice2408]

Now imagine being stationed with them…. They do this shit to us all the time. Except they get a lot closer. Enough to throw sand in your face

[@hassocks1206]

The guys laugh is brill!

[@ivorharden]

It doesn't matter if your fighter squadron or display team, the element of surprise is key. 2:00

[@gregbonwell2564]

Love it 👍

[@TheQman69]

I've seen hundreds of air shows in my career (retired AF crew chief turned WSO) and the Blue Angels have the best low and high speed passes. Thunderbirds have a great show but the Navy must have a lower stage floor during their shows. #5 couldn't have been more than 150 ft overhead and looked to drop closer to the water surface after they passed the crowd.

[@gm2282]

Love it when they come from behind

[@Skoot61]

- Haha... my girlfriend tells me the same thing....

[@Cola64]

1st the sweet jet pass than your laugh 😂

[@justinmaguire4987]

#5 with the sneak pass at 700 mph

[@santafemiket]

That wasn't a roll, it was a low level fly by!

[@nickdeclement9668]

It’s always that one jet when their doing the group role that one jet that does a sound barrier low pass from behind

[@alleycat9884]

Wait until youre attention is diverted, then sneak up from behind.

[@souperdave2009]

That is what is meant by, "Air Superiority".

[@-j-plum6297]

@ 1:41 If you look carefully, the smoke trail seems to go in front of the blue angel on top, just for a split second. Sun reflection off the jet maybe?

[@Pinkielover]
