USN Blue Angels

[@TheChubbyKid]

As a military brat in the 90's I remember the heat getting to me, so dad took me to the truck to cool off. After feeling better we stood in the truck bed and watched the show. I don't know if it was the pilot who saw my dad in uniform with this kid alone in the parking lot or part of their flight path, but he buzzed us so low it caused the whole truck to shake. Best day ever, thanks dad.

[@johnorellana9864]

My sincerest thanks for your service and have full faith that our greatest pilots in all squadrons are ready to answer their call to duty when that time comes.

It's moments like that, that make life worth it

[@ronedmondson9545]

I’ve had the pleasure of watching the blue Angels a half a dozen times and every time gives me chills they are unbelievable God bless everyone of them I actually have a poster sign by every blue Angel next to the jet that they fly I’ll have it forever

[@WOOSiE5727]

U went to the show

[@SavannahWilson-om6np]

I grew up less than a mile away from a Navy base in Tennessee where they put on an air show every September, and I remember standing in our driveway and watching the Blue Angels fly in the air show, and during practice the week before. I always loved seeing the Angels, and felt so lucky to have such a great view from our house. Great video. Thanks for bringing back such fun memories! 👍💙✈

[@axzoar4275]

Same man, I remember once I saw the angels flying just about 100m on top of my house when I was 5

[@853massey]

Never gets old watching those guys fly. Unbelievable.

Exceptionally presented, Ground Crew, Airmen, Aircraft and clearly all elite operators in their chosen field. That tight diamond on rotation, impressive! Great camera work too, thanks for posting.

An excellent show online… even better (and louder) in person!!

Erre nincsenek szavak. Lenyűgöző, magával ragadó, csodálatos. Együttműködés, alázat, tisztelet egymással szemben. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@joesinegal8167]

This Performance Literally Brought Tears To My Eye's! I Haven't Seen The Blue Angels Since The Late 1990's During Fleet Week In San Francisco. I Brought My Son To His First Blue Angels Air Show At Moffett Field In Mountain View, California Back In 1983. My 3 Year Old Granddaughter Attended Her First Air Show This Summer Of 2022. Everytime I See These Gentlemen Fly, It Just Reminds Me Of How Great This Country Is And How It's Being Destroyed Before Our Very Eye's From Within Our Own Border's! I Truly Appreciate The Sacrifice Of Our Men and Women In Uniform. They're Our True Hero's And Their Sacrifice Is Much Appreciated From Myself And Those Who Still Love This Country! God Bless America And All Of Our Men And Women In Uniform! Thank You For Your Sacrifice And Love For Our Great Nation! 🙏✌️🇺🇲✌️🙏

Blue Angels fleet week are always a treat!

Parabéns, Maravilhoso ver esse Show aéreo! Lindo,Lindo,Lindo! Que Deus continue Abençoando Vocês nesse trabalho brilhante! Abraço a todos!

[@aaronmiller5012]

Was there on Sunday the weekend before and it was good to see them again. What’s also cool is #4 has a two seater cockpit. Whoever is in the 2nd seat in #4 definitely enjoyed that ride. Thumbs up to you and the rest of the blue angels and god bless America. 👍🇺🇸

[@jamesadams893]

So does number 5

[@JerryDechant]

It take a LOT of skill and training to fly like that. Those guys are excellent pilots, and their crews are equally excellent to maintain those aircraft in excellent condition. I salute all of you!

[@Jyard]

The big loops show just how powerful these planes are. The power, skill, and discipline it takes, is just awesome!

[@robbiegentle8327]

From high alpha to climb out, shows the power. mind you, they are empty and slick. But still, like you said . Awesome.

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

I missed it. I had a conversation with a guy at a supermarket about the Blue Angel's. I went to 3 air shows and the Thunderbirds were there. I never seen an Angel in person. This show happened two weeks after I saw the guy and he told me they will be at Miramar. I couldn't make it, I hope one day I can see them. Thank you for posting the video. It's the next best thing to being there.

[@batphink2655]

Once I start watching it's hard to stop these guys are brilliant!

[@okllepentulle]

😮😮

[@robertboyd7069]

i used to work across the highway from Miramar air station and got to watch them practicing for a week and they were truly fantastic to witness.

[@ltlt733]

Thank you soo much!! You bring the video to me as is if I was there. truly great work, since i doubt i will be at one again(just old and far away) honestly you bring me to tears as i watch! Thank you Sir!

[@helderguedelha5318]

O need see you in Portugal. Amazing, you will be good receive. Came to see a smal country, but very nig in corage.

[@rogerramjet7567]

I was stationed there at fightertown. VF-21. 69-70. Goosebumps are normal. 👍

[@BigDukeX]

The Blues certainly did put on an awesome show - and where the hottest aircraft in the air space that day. These newer F/A 18 Super Hornets demonstrated unmatched impressive power, speed and maneuverability all afternoon long... up until that 2 ship F-22 Raptor team showed up.., after the Blues where chocked. The crowd was heading for the exits, but traffic came to a complete stop to watch these Raptors perform. Good to have MCAS Miramar Air Shows back!!!

[@barrythecommie6684]

After playing DCS, only to realize how hard the stuff these guys are doing. Max respect

[@Netbug]

Any pilot will tell you sims are harder because you can't rely on your inner ear for feedback. The only advantage for sims is the safety element.

[@KyleUltima9189]

Dcs is harder then real life actually lol

[@KyleUltima9189]

But yeah respect to those guys because it DEFINITELY is not easy at all

[@terrywest111]

Love it! So awesome! Truly a sight to behold.

[@АлексейТимошенко-ы5ц]

Чтобы выполнять такой пилотаж, наверное надо в небе родиться. БРАВО!!!

[@stevemarkle6609]

Had the honor of attending their show and "crews only" dinner at Tucson Air show back in the day...'76 I guess it was, maybe late '75. I crewed an SH-2F LAMPS helo out of Imperial Beach on a static display during the airshow. Great experience I'll cherish forever! I think some if not all were later killed in a practice mishap months later. I cannot express the honor I feel for having met them, and having flown with the greatest pilots that ever served this great nation!

[@mrbikeman]

You did an incredible job filming this. Thank you.

[@johnshields6852]

I saw them in 1970 when I was 10 in Weymouth, Mass. Naval air station, it's gone now but they are amazing. Thank you🇺🇸

[@thebikewatcher9819]

I have a bias to the USAF Thunderbirds, because I personally know one of the pilots, but in all honesty I love watching the Blue Angels just as much! I really enjoy when the 2 groups fly together.

[@Alex000113]

Impressive precision. Loved the 6ship roll and the wheels down acrobatics.

[@kawai99100]

Served on Lexington and Forrestal and when those guys would buzz us as we came back from training 😎. Now I watch them from my back yard twice a week!

[@darknes7800]

Watching these guys makes me proud to be an American and proud live in the GREATEST country in the world! USA! USA! USA!

[@N8DOGG520]

Fridays are always the best day to go there. Great grab on the highest grandstand seat. That back row sold out fast. Great video as usual.

[@aaronmiller5012]

They even had the U-2 spy plane in the air show which is nice. Don’t see those around that much.

[@edwardelie353]

I'm 39 years old I've been going to airshow longer than I can remember I seen Blue Angels snowbirds and the Thunderbirds I'm a fan of the Blue Angels but the Thunderbirds I just love their paint scheme with a bird under the bottom of the jet and all in all I love them all even though I'm not flying it's still adrenaline rush to watch them fly ✈ 👏🏿👏🏿

[@billscott356]

Very awesome! Wasn't able to go this year. However caught a number of passes over my house by the diamond or solos on Saturday. Also was headed down I-15 on Sunday as the diamond completed the initial loop and flew out over the freeway. The guys in the Super Hornets were a lot safer than many of us on the freeway as some alleged motorists started looking up and not on the road.

[@hartonoharijanto100]

This popped up in my feed it's awesome quality thanks for sharing this. I'm a big aircraft & airshow fan here in uk I don't think I've seen these at a show in the uk I believe it was the other team years ago the thunderbirds. I love how they do all there build up b4 going into display like to see our red arrows do it like that I mean the introduction. They obviously still do some of the other stuff but these guys with just 6 aircraft do great display. Thanks again.👍

Dude I was at the air show it was amazing I was wearing a camp cap and I have been watching airshows for a while. I loved seeing the F-22 and the P-51 mustang fly together it was a pretty rare site. I got to fly in the USAA simulator and I started laughing my ass off when I walked inside. 😂

The last time I saw the Angles they were flying the legacy F-18C/D models. They were in pretty rough shape. When you got up close, you can really see the age and wear they accumulated. Nice to see them getting new birds.

[@paaat001]

They were the oldest in the fleet.

The Super Hornets the Blues have are the first Supers put into service 24 years ago.

[@alessandronarom6751]

My family history is KAH RAY ZEEE, I remember going to see family I haven't met yet as I have family in different states and countries . I remember my dad introducing me to these people and one of them was a pilot and was a pilot for the blue angels. All I kept saying was noon waaayyyy. I wish I could find them and other family I met. One of the groups we went to go see was on my mum's side. I thought that was really weird, I'm thinking why are you (my dad) visiting them? My parents were divorced when I was a lil bambino. But to think I had a cousin that was a blue angel, this was before I met them I was thinking about becoming a commercial pilot when I was in highschool and I loved watching the air shows and all the different teams from around the world. Hey if buy chance a current blue angel is reading this, maybe you can give me a tour, and I'll share my gummie bears with ya 🤪

It's "Esprit De Corps" and nothing is silly about it! This unit is the best of the best and those of us in the "Airwing" Know that. As a Tomcat Fixer my Div. Officer LCDR. Dave Stewart. was awarded a slot with the Blue Angles after 3 cruises with VF-111 F-14's. He was a great pilot and solid Flight/Division Officer and leader. Many young kids dream of becoming one of them or enlisting to work on Naval Aircraft. That youth is the future of Naval Aviation and they watch every move they make. F14 Tomcats Forever!
