[@zmangozer1918]

It's called "chair flying, "dude. We do it all the time as pilots. And yes, it is a visualization tool that we utilize all the time to synchronize our maneuvers in the air. And I would challenge you to use three words with the letter "Z" in a coherent sentence.

Absolutely mesmerizing…watching them do the show in a conference room like they were in the cockpit!

[@TimothyBruneau]

This is proof that no matter how good you are at something - anything - it's vital that you continue to practice. Their visualization technique, while seemingly strange, is vital and reinforces their skill, confidence and trust in each other. You can never over-practice, in fact it's a continuing and never-ending vital routine.

[@CowtownJohn1]

Watching them chair fly reminded me of a professor in college. She was a pianist and said every time she had to fly out of town, she'd close her eyes and "play" the piece on her lap , heading out in her head. Pretty awesome.

[@chipps1066]

Not even English. I'll call that "Avianese". The cadence is so melodic. And what a trance, what a zone they get into. Amazing talent.

[@lw216316]

When your life and the lives of your buddies are on the line and the lives of civilians if you crash then you give 100 percent focus - and you have millions of dollars of aircraft at stake.... it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly with the Blues and there are hundreds of others who would like to take your place - much respect for these best of the best pilots - I always enjoy their airshows. I fly a remote control F/A-18 C legacy Blue Angel - it brings back good memories of seeing them at airshows.... my top speed is over 100mph and landing is on a 400 ft paved strip - it does loops, rolls, inverted, Cuban 8s - all the basics. May your skies be blue and your winds calm.

[@loveoneanotherasihaveloved8327]

Wow the Angels are legit! Man I’d love to meet these men!

[@kellystogner100]

If you have the ability to be escorted onto the Pensacola Naval Air Station on a Wedn, they have practice demonstrations followed by autograph sessions. Well worth going!

[@JoshuaDStewart]

I was literally in Pensacola that day!

[@twistedneck]

So impressive. You are looking at the top of the Navy Pilot food chain here and that includes the Hercules pilot as well. I"m sure the Thunderbirds do something very similar but equally strange seeming. I didn't know they had a spring added to the Super Hornet control stick but i can tell you that is one precise airplane after watching these things fly i think it might be a better show than the F18 Legacy.

[@12345fowler]

"Food chain". So stupid comment. Typical YT Bs

[@Turboy65]

Yes, the Thunderbirds chair fly their routines as well. The methods used are almost exactly the same for basically all aerial demonstration teams anywhere in the world. At least the good ones.

[@jamiehoover9348]

Wow that's. So awesome to get to watch. I had goosebumps throughout the whole thing.... glad we have men like this watchin our backs l🇺🇲😎✌🏻

[@kellystogner100]

and now the first woman Blue Angels pilot! I saw their practice demonstration last week and then they all stayed to sign autographs for an hour!

[@pushing2throttles]

That was AWESOME! Practice and preparation is what makes these guys so freaking good. Even watching their preflight brief was exciting. (I'm a pilot so maybe I'm biased)

[@batphink2655]

The Team Leader is nearly musical in this vocal expressions and commands and you can see how the Pilots have memorized their joystick and control settings! When the Team Leader retires he could always become a DJ 'on Air)pardon the pun) with a voice like that lol!

[@adammackerel4993]

It's not so much the debriefing jargon that get's me although it be weird too, as the other jargon they use before the run-through. Not in this video but in the new documentary you get to hear it. I know there's a purpose but it eludes me. At any rate, the discipline is amazing. It vaguely remindes me of some of the SDP training from the Marine Barracks with all the word cues and ditties to learn the movements.

[@lw216316]

Was that Amanda sitting in the back?.....saw her fly number 3 at the Tennessee airshow last week. Visualization training is not new but it is interesting to see group visualization. Man, that stick goes over fast in the roll.

[@23sushiboy]

For me, the Blue Angels are so much more impressive in the air shows than the Thunderbirds. Seems like their jets are more impressive and they get closer to the crowd than the Thunderbirds. I lived on the 33rd floor in a high rise in downtown Chicago and they would get so close I could actually see the pilot in the cockpit. I hate to say it but I would only watch the Chicago Air and Water show when the Blue Angels were the headliners (they and the Thunderbirds alternate every other year).

[@DG38594]
