Thanks for checking out this video! It's a recount of an exchange I did with the Blue Angels while flying for the Thunderbirds. I was able to fly Blue Angel 1 in my backseat and I think you'll enjoy the recount of the flight! Please like and Sub. Have a great day!

[@GopherBaroque61]

Hi! I've separated from the USAF after 11 years back in 1990. Your channel was just recommended to me and I'm truly glad that it was. I know very well how excellent a pilot you need to be to be selected to the Thunderbirds. However, I have a question, do you have a video or have mentioned in one of your videos the incredibly talented and dedicated the Thunderbirds maintenance and ground support crew?

[@integrity262]

All you fighter pilots are just rugged disciplined individuals.The beatings on your bodies must be intense.

[@DunnDifferent]

When I was like 8yo my dad took me to a undeveloped dead end street and we watched the blue angels practice before the weekends show. One of the pilots saw us and flew over us upside down at way less than 500 feet, and proceeded to give us a thumbs up. Coolest experience ever.

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

That’s epic! Thanks for sharing

[@JohnDoe-jp6zs]

I'm an electrician and got to work on Holloman AFB for about 4 years around 2013-2017 upgrading the runway and taxiway lights and signs. Being about 2 feet off the runway surface while the vipers were coming and going was by far the highlight of my life! Most of the pilots were super cool too and would enduldge an excited 23 year old construction worker by throwing up "viper" hand signals and a couple of times they even nodded to me, kicked on afterburners and looked to my best impression of take off "go" signals before they flat out sent it! Oh man I'm getting chills just thinking about it. I've been into jets since a kid and I am so thankful to have those memories. Now I get to watch videos and play Ace Combat with my 6 year old son and tell him stories of how dad was there and how the wind gets sucked out of your lungs when they go by. Lol Thanks for the videos and beloved memories!

[@JohnDoe-jp6zs]

By the way, my son says that the F16 in "America" colors (thunderbird paint job) is the coolest jet in the world. Lol I'm inclined to agree! 👍

[@jackmandu]

Love seeing the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds at various air shows. That said I’d like to offer my deepest condolences to the family and air show friends of Chris Darnell, the driver of the SHOCKWAVE Jet Truck, who lost his life in an air show accident yesterday in Michigan. I’ve seen and enjoyed Mr. Darnell’s performance several times.

[@kilertacoproductions]

When I visited the field of flight on the 3rd, the airshow started with a missing man formation, unfortunately everyone clapped during the moment of silence

[@jaronhav7699]

@@kilertacoproductions I’m not sure if you were near a group of people who clapped but everyone I could see was very respectful

[@jordanburden1469]

Always love watching the blue angels AND thunderbirds

[@patriciaburkell8024]

This was an amazing learning experience. Great commentary.

[@braedynhoward3644]

Wow that's really cool! I love the blue angels, mostly because I grew up with my dad as an F 18 pilot. But I got to see the Thunderbirds in action when my family moved to Nellis, where my dad flew A4s for Draken, so I now have an appreciation for both teams. He now flies in North Carolina and is learning the Mirage F 1.

[@papamarkw]

It’s always the highlight of the Summer when the Blue Angels come to Seattle for Seafair every August.

[@oceancat0450]

That’s a good point I’ve never thought of. Losing sight of one another, while knowing they’re close by would be intimidating.

[@Kari5274]

Loved watching the Blues. What I wished you had included was the solos. I've watched all the videos on both channels and am so happy when a new one comes out!

[@rangerat1957]

Living in Las Vegas and working on base I love seeing the Thunderbirds doing the loop on take off. could watch the Blues and Thunderbirds everyday if I could.

[@dewdrop1994]

Excuse me while I just geek out for a minute and say how awesome you are. And thank you for not being too cool to let us know how exciting it is for you. After all, most of us will never get the chance to do what you do and have to live vicariously through you.

[@Earlywinters09]

Love it when the Blue Angles are here. When they do those breaks over the lake it usually puts one shooting right over my house. Awesome!

[@frisk151]

Amazing commentary from one of the few people who really knows from being there.... Thank you sir!

[@greenkwaka]

Amazing video !

[@doncalypso]

Those look like legacy Hornets.... I wonder how different the experience is when flying clean Super Hornets. Back on May 21st 2022 I was honored to see the Super Hornet Blue Angels for the first time.... Seemed a bit more impressive to me than the last time I saw them in Atlantic City when they flew legacy Hornets.

[@RippingThrone59]

I got the honour on 15th of August 2022. It was spectacular! I uploaded a few videos of them performing.

[@solidfataiist]

Awesome video. I miss the old Thunderbirds and Blue Angels rotations in Sacramento airshows.

[@williamheslet8695]

Absolutely a great opportunity to watch. Omg this is the best of the best. So great. No losers here

[@Aditi27]

Loved it ! I think these teams are the best outcome a nation's military can have & I think every nation must have in order to engage the youth to join the military or just to know & feel that military personnel are not killing machines but real humans & can be as equally approachable. 😊

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

Spot on! thank you

[@bradgrand79]

As an 80s kid they grew up in Southern California I got to see both these teams quite a few times and it really drove my love for aviation. That said Thunderbirds my favorite all the way.

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

Awesome!

[@KeshikS2C]

This is one of my favorite vids that you've done. I have seen the B.A.'s many times as they do a series of annual performances for Seafair in Seattle. Always a huge treat and it was awesome to get a pilot's perspective from someone who has done similar things. I have never seen a T birds demo but I would love to.

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

Thanks! Tbirds videos coming soon!!

[@strongwomeninfilm]

Thank you so very much. Learning about TD SMITH III totally made me want to explore your content. Thank you

[@robertramirez9061]

thanks for being so informative on this subject matter. always look forward to new videos, stay safe and Godspeed👍🇺🇸

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

Thanks Robert! Glad you’re here 👍👍

[@johncrumrine6184]

Cool seeing your prospective on how we did things. Was on the Blues Maintenance team during that 2017 "Safety Exchange"

[@advorsky1]

I was at the show in Kansas City in 2021 when the Thunderbirds came and flew with the Blue Angels at the show at New Century Air Center in Gardner, Kansas. This being the very first time BOTH teams flew at a show together!

[@aarondavis1604]

Great video. Saw both teams at a local Air show last year. Amazing skills.

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

Thanks Aaron!

[@roydegenstein4293]

I have been lucky enough to be stationed at places where I got see both teams perform at one time or another, also overseas and see what other nations bring to the table for demonstrations. I am highly impressed with all you wonderful folks do for your home nations and being ambassadors around the world, representing your home nation. I thank you all for what you have done if in the past and those that do it today. Thank you for all the amazing shows and wonderful times throughout this journey we call life. I salute you all.

[@drjaye1962]

I volunteered for the KC Airshow last summer it was supposed 2 be just the Blues something unplanned happened and the Thunderbolts showed up as well(I’ve never seen this b4)…what a great time…peace God Bless America

[@christianhanson5301]

Hey! That’s Mercer Island in the clip from 14:30, I live close by that’s where I go to see the Blue Angels at Seafair! Badass👌👌

[@ResolUloseR]

The thing that kinda irks me at some of the civilians who come to watch both teams at these air shows is their lack of understanding just how difficult formation flying really is...especially at these minimum distances. I mean I understand why they love the boom and zoom segments of the show...but I think a lot of the grasp of just how skilled all these pilots are is lost on most air show guests, unfortunately. I always talk about it to others at the show...then tell them to drive home on a highway...and trying to do it while looking at a single point on a car in the lane next to them. I miss doing air shows.

[@Dan737MASTER]

Was just talking about this with one of my airline buddies. We’ve flown formation in some smaller aircraft together but can’t even comprehend the amount of skill it takes to fly this tight at speeds like that. It’s absolutely incredible.

[@kayinoue2497]

When I was a little girl I had a bunch of Diecast and Tamiya model kits of the Angels' F18s (and some of the F16 Tbirds). Haven't been lucky enough to see a demo show since I was little but last year we got them at the airshow in my town and I could see them from my yard

[@johnosbourn4312]

This is some really awesome footage, Ryan!

[@BenderIsGreat_34]

Thanks for a great video! Could call this a peer review! One question, I heard that F-16's stick measures pressure for input compared to stick position of the F/A-18. How is it different feeling-wise?

[@tacoenvy]

That shirts awesome man

[@ShawnHinck]

When I was at the KC Airshow in 2021 I got to see both at the same air show, the week before in Topeka I also saw the viper demo team, with one of the first super hornet shows for the blues it was a good 2 weeks

[@kevdawg8668]

Excellent video Neo! Your confidence in front of the camera is 3X from where it was roughly 4-5 months ago! Glad to see you showed Guido a good time! -Kevin "Chili"

[@Nukem962001]

I was working at Red Flag one year and the the Thunder Birds were up practicing their show, and right after they landed the blue angels came in and did a small maneuver and landed for fuel. It was the only time (outside of KZbin) I had seen them together. I did see the Canadian Snowbirds and the Thunder birds land at Offutt once, not for our air show sadly.

[@GISJohnMaine]

Very cool!

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

thanks!

[@russburton7660]

I know there not allowed but a Thunderbird/Blue Angels Show Would be Awesome

[@applejacks971]

Did I miss something? I thought the video was the Thunderbirds flying with BA1 riding in the backseat of the T-Bird? This entire vid is helmet cam of the Blue Angels. Is there another link somewhere? Super awesome vid! T-Birds, BA's, they are both amazing to see and watch. Talent and skill :)

[@StephenTSchuler]

I live in Cleveland and walked across most of downtown to get to the air show. Absolutely nothing on earth matches the sound of the F-15 tearing around the city. Especially when it was of sight, it sounded like a Pacific Rim monster was on the way.

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

Love it!

[@helengibbs7177]

Love the coms!💖

[@manoupardo2977]

Can’t wait Ryan!

[@MaxAfterburnerusa]

Thank you! Glad to have you here as always!

[@TimSauers]

You need to have Blue Angel 1 on your show

[@christianhanson5301]

I hope “that guy” from the skyscraper in Chicago sees this video and remembers that moment

[@marksage6462]

A lot of that footage looks like it was from Seattle (Seafair), which happens in August. Which like you said is why they look so tight.

[@samuelpancake4084]

I was in the United States coast guard and I was stationed on the cgc resolute with deep water horizons lead boat (press and president on our boat for it ) we were close to the blue angels everyday they would come over the ship and salute us or give us a signal of mutual respect .

[@dogsplayingpoker2395]

I worked at Edwards AFB for 10 years and during that time I heard 3 USAF senior noncoms grudgingly say (admit?) that the Blue Angels were better than the Thunderbirds.

[@tsch38301]

Bravo Zulu Ryan.

[@johnosbourn4312]

Hey, Ryan, you need to check out a video posted by Airshow Stuff, from two years ago, that covers Operation America Strong.

[@mainiac4pats]

Thunderbirds did a flyby at Brunswick Naval Airstation in Maine back in the 1990’s. It was an epic air show. Big thanks to the T-birds for doing that. Think they’re awesome. (Blue Angels Air Show)

[@nonamen8050]

I’m ready

[@jackspence1126]

Thunder Over Michigan features both demonstration teams at the air show July 9th & 10th. This is the second year in a row this has happened. One team performs at the morning show, and the other in the afternoon show.

[@joaopedroschramm1948]

YEAHHH

[@hrench]

They flew together in Olathe Kansas late 2021.

[@ShootBlueHelmets]

I was hoping to see some joint maneuvers. Too much to hope for? How about a movie, where the T birds and Angels get called to duty for a mission, together. It could be called Top Eagle, or Iron Gun.😂

[@integrity262]

When flying in such a tight formation.Radar’s only pick up as one fighter or?

can anyone tell what city the BA's are flying over here? looks like maybe Baltimore or Annapolis?

[@bessarion1771]

so, you were inverted with F-18? Did you "communicate?" Lol. Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@jasonnelson2609]

Hey, what years were you a Thunderbird Pilot?

[@jonathanwallace6325]

Thunderbirds have way better flight suits

[@Blackmoon9u9]

I m new in your channel I go with a question How the blue angel pilot deal with those long seconds inverted moves without G's suit and without losing consciousness?

[@OldManTenno]

Lots and lots of training, plus having everything properly scripted out. Having those moments in the routine that are relatively “chill” gives their bodies a chance to recover faster than that of normal people. As an example, I learned to play basketball later in life. The more experienced I got, the more I settled into the routine and realized I didn’t have to go 100% all the time. I could recognize the times I could dial back, and therefore save and recover energy that would end up getting wasted. This let me play longer and more effectively. I would say they are doing a very similar concept by being in great shape, tons of practice, and utilizing energy management.

[@Blackmoon9u9]

@@OldManTenno Thinks for the response Fly safe

[@OldManTenno]

@@Blackmoon9u9 Thank you. I recently got DCS, and am currently learning to fly the F-18 with a squadron. It’s reinvigorated me to make videos for my gaming channel, and hopefully I can help give more insight as I learn more.
