ABOUT THE U.S. NAVY BLUE ANGELS:
[Source: www.blueangels.navy.mil ]
The U.S. Navy flight demonstration squadron team consists of 138 world-class, active-duty Sailors and Marines, each one bringing experience and expertise from their service in the fleet. They serve as the representatives of the more than 800,000 active-duty, reserve, and civilian men and women currently serving worldwide in the Navy and Marine Corps.
By design and by their nature, naval forces operate abroad and are seldom seen by our nation’s citizens. The Blue Angels have the unique ability to highlight the importance of naval aviation while honoring its historical significance. They proudly represent the heritage, agility, flexibility, and importance of naval aviation to 21st-century warfighting.

Wow, of all the differences between the C/D and E/F Hornets, I've never noticed the dog-tooth wingtips. One thing I would've liked him to elaborate on, is the aerodynamic advantages of the diamond style air intakes over the round ones of the legacy hornet.

[@bobsurgranny]

Top man. Top pilot

[@BoltClaw]

Such a beautiful jet for sure!👍

[@GeorgeJansen]

I can't wait for the eventual F35 switch. The tandem 6 horizontal take offs/landings are going to be awesome ❤❤❤❤❤

[@fightingfalconfan]

I don't think they will get the F-35. They have to have at least two jet's that are dual seat. Usually for training purposes and VIP flights for media personnel. F35 is strictly a single seat aircraft. In order to actually qualify to sit on the cockpit a pilot must go through X amount of hours in the simulator first. Same thing with the Thunderbird's, they also have to have a duel seat Viper for the same reasons.

[@GeorgeJansen]

@@fightingfalconfan... If they can design the c5 galaxy, James Webb space telescope, the CERN, etc, I think they could pump out a few specially designed 2-seater f35s.

[@fightingfalconfan]

@@GeorgeJansen That would make the plane even more expensive. It's already over budget and no actual conflict for it to be effective.

[@markfurchtenicht8274]

Thank you for that! 👍

Our pleasure!

[@dave.lawrence.3894]

Big difference from the first model Hornet ( A/B)... Great walk-around.... Thanks

[@LiveAirShowTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@GeorgeJansen]

They should design black smoke for overcast high ceiling air shows ❤❤❤❤

[@jclessard716]

When explaining the wing tip station, you see a CF-18 (Canada ) in the background

[@LiveAirShowTV]

Yes, it was the best example of showing the weapons being loaded. It would have to be a real situation to show it.

CHEWY❤

[@Sammyguy135]

You can tell Chewy misses the Legacy Hornet , the Super has F414s not 404s😅

[@jeffrobson3987]

The superhornet has ge414s , the legacy hornet has ge404 engines. Dude must of flown the legacy a few times 😂

[@Minnesota.Highlander]

For the love of God, no more music at airshows. Its tacky and takes away why you are there!

[@billshedd55]

He's a Lt Commander, NOT a Lt.

[@unclejoe8279]

Boring as it is not a real airplane.
