The Blue Angels | Official Trailer | Filmed For IMAX®

Ready for takeoff? Glen Powell and J.J. Abrams invite you to experience the ride of a lifetime this May when #TheBlueAngels soars into IMAX. #FilmedForIMAX

[@mr.ajayjose]

Anyone who hasn't seen Blue Angels at an airshow - I can't recommend it enough. You don't have to be an aviation enthusiast but the flybys and sounds are an assault on your senses. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand every time.

[@xradrd]

Well said!! ❤👍🏻

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

Flying down to visit family in Texas, will be seeing them as NAS JRB for the 1st(ish) time (saw them practicing at McMinnville while flying past myself, he requested back to PDX and was there within 5 minutes. I had barely gone a few miles in that time).

Cool aviation, yes, but military propaganda, yuck.

Would love to seen them again. But they are not in Europe very often. Last time i saw them was in 2006 at Leeuwarden airbase in the Netherlands

As a USAF Veteran, I have seen the Thunderbirds several times. I also had the pleasure of seeing the The Blue Angels, The British Red Arrows, and The Italian Frecce Tricolori. I will be front and center to see the Blue Angels movie. You never leave any of those shows unsatisfied and unhappy. My wish is also to see the Canadian Snowbirds.

[@AnthonyJoh]

FYI the Snowbirds will be performing at the Comox air show this year. MAY 18.

[@Aladeen123]

The Gatineau, QC. airshow this year in Sept. will feature the USAF Thunderbirds, RAF Red Arrows 60th year, and the RCAF Snowbirds, CF-18 Demo Team (RCAF 100 year anniv.).

I hope this movie also highlights the maintainers. These are some of the oldest F/A-18's still flying, and there is incredible pressure to meet every scheduled performance. Every person involved with this team is of the highest caliber. This will be amazing to watch!

[@flake8382]

They always do. Every blues documentary I've every watched, they are as much a part of the team as anyone.

[@pamelaolson8832]

The aircraft they fly are showroom quality. You would not find a spec of dirt on one. Now when you go to a MCAS, the FA-18s there are another story : )

[@caramanico1]

Seen them a couple of times, but one time stood out. It was actually their final practice before a show in Annapolis (I work at the Gift Shop there). Got on my ex's boss's boat in the middle of the Severn River (right next to the Naval Academy). At one point they snuck up on us by following the river (not crossing it). Out of nowhere they blew past/over us at an incredibly low altitude. Beyond words, will never forget it.

[@platinumpineapple9943]

Amazing! Saw them Practicing at Pensacola last fall in October! Always love their air shows!

[@Delta2Oscar]

The Blues got me into aviation. I watched them as a kid through the 90s and the joined the Marines and went to avionics I strand school in NAS Pensacola. Watching them day in and day out was an absolute dream. The Naval Air museum is the best in the world, and definitely a must if you love aviation. Luckily at one of my duty stations I was selected to fly with the Blues, Fat Albert Airlines. They sat me looking out on top of the bird. Best airshow of my life. Semper Fi!

[@rick5346]

Have seen both Blue Angels and Thunderbirds….amazing to watch them perform these maneuvers and how close they get to each other.

[@KimoPollock]

[@DeereX748]

I've seen them perform in four different types and they never fail to amaze. I had the distinct pleasure and honor of meeting Cdr. Frank Weisser (USN, Retired), a two-time Blue Angels team member, when he delivered the #5 solo Legacy Hornet to our local aviation museum. These guys are truly artists at what they do.

[@dougrobinson8602]

In my opinion, the F-4 Phantom II really was the best. Those planes are big, and incredibly loud. Maybe it was because that was my first Blue Angels show in person, and I was just a kid, but the awe that inspired in me never seems to fade.

[@DeereX748]

@@dougrobinson8602 The Phantom is also my favorite. Big and visceral, a Mach 2 bludgeon in a fleet of spears. The others I've seen were the F-11F, A-4 and the Legacy Hornet. I saw the F-11 when I was a Cub Scout (60 years ago) and still remember how graceful it was.

[@coolcat6303]

Back in 1991, I drove from Michigan all the way to San Diego to visit my relatives and sight see. My uncle took me to the Miramar NAS (Featured in Top Gun) to see the big air show and it was pretty amazing. They had the F-14, F-15, F-16, the Harrier and even the F-117 which had just been recently unveiled to the public. But the Blue Angels were definitely the star attraction. And not only was the main event awesome but I was actually able to watch them practice days before the show because they were practicing near the city. At one point, I was driving down the freeway and got so caught up in watching them, I almost had an accident. Glad I survived long enough to catch the Air Show that weekend. Haha. Anyway, I never get tired of watching them fly and am really looking forward to this film. I just hope my local IMAX shows it cuz they usually only do movies nowadays.

[@fuffoon]

The Magic of Flight was fantastic. This should rock.

[@brianmessemer2973]

Is that also a much shorter IMAX film about the Blue Angels? If so, I saw that in an aviation museum IMAX theater years ago and it was awesome.

[@Chilicoach]

movie is goated. came to the comments just for this

[@justint821]

As a former Air Force guy, I admire the Blue Angels a lot. My dad worked for McDonnell Douglas when I was a kid, so I have a soft spot in my heart for the Hornet! Something about those blue and gold F/A-18s that put on a great show. But I still prefer the Thunderbirds and the F-16!

[@martinv3444]

I did one of my Navy reenlistments on Fat Albert back in 2011-12. The G’s where too much that we couldn’t do the actual oath while it was flying. Had to wait till we landed. Great experience, now I’m getting ready to retire.😢

[@josephabrego7399]

I'm so excited for this. I grew up near NAS Pensacola and saw them several times as a kid. I was in the Air Force for 12 years, then worked on NASP as a civilian after. One of my projects was post hurricane repair of the Blue Angels hangar and it never got old watching them launch. We got an air show a couple of times a week while they were on station, and one of their low altitude flyovers was right over our office. One day I was in the hangar offices when the female pilot came in after a flight. Everyone was cheering and I was told after we left that it was her first flight with the team. Pretty cool stuff.

[@user-pd6lq3xi3m]

Love these Angels. We will be seeing them this weekend at the New Orleans Air Show.

[@alchemicalsoul]

My father and grandfather were Navy. They took the family to every air show that came to the Bay Area while I was growing up in the 80s. I joined at 18 as an aircraft electrician and served 14 years.. Definitely a strong recruitment tool.

[@SKtube0]

Amazing. Grew up in soCal, so was lucky enough to see the Blue Angels at the base in SD when I was a kid. I know there are other groups now that do air shows, but I feel that the Blue Angels really set the bar and that they’re the team that all pilots wish to be a part of.

[I'm an Army cavalry veteran... by definition ALL Navy personnel are lesser mortals 😉] Jokes aside, while the Blue Angels are a dog and pony show, what they do is dangerous and demanding work with precisely zero room for error. And all these pilots are carrier-qualified, the equivalent of landing on a postage stamp in the middle of the ocean. **I** can't do that and while I might talk smack about them, I do respect anybody who can.

This should be good. I remember sitting on my dad’s rooftop and the solo pilots would flyby over the house so low you could see the pilot. That was back in the A4 Skyhawk days. We lived right across the field from the municipal airport they flew at. My dad was a police officer and he worked event security so we would get to go out and check out the planes after everyone was gone. Pretty cool standing next to one on the runway. Those days are long gone but cool memories nonetheless.
