      I'm 40 years old. I don't have many regrets, but one that stands out is not following my calling to be a pilot. My dad gave me the aviation bug and would take me flying remote control airplanes when I was a kid. I still remember how proud he was when I landed my plane for the first time by myself, I was still in elementary school I was roughly 7 or 8 years old. I can still smell the fuel, and see the grass. You must be very proud of your son, what a legend.

He knew the names and home towns of every single person on the team by memory, and he presented a 30 minute show without missing a beat using no notes. Military precision at its finest :)

    Went to school in Pensacola and went to the air show twice. Even got to see low pass practice flybys at school on occasion. It’s the most exhilarating and impressive demonstration I’ve ever witnessed. Your chest is rattled by the engines, hearing muffled (definitely wear ear protection) and your heart pounding. If you ever have the opportunity, you must experience the greatest air superiority show in the world.

Maybe 15-20 ft off the ground and so close I remember thinking I could have reached out and touched the wing. Truly incredible aviators. Dust coming off the runway and then did a straight vertical pull up to 20,000. Insane pilots, nothing but respect for these guys and what they do.

    I'm pretty sure it was LCDR Zimmerman who did the narrating during a Blue Angels demonstration in Duluth MN summer of 2023. Apart from his aviation creds, I was also impressed by his articulation, poise, and honestly, keen memory. There is a lot that the narrator says and he spoke it all without skipping a beat, seemed so comfortable and natural. Was also great to hear one of the pilots was from MN. Our entire home state was very proud of her. Very inspiring.

    Sam, forgot to mention that "Bert" also performs at shows too if she can. As her main focus is transport, and show support, she doesn't do all the shows. Best chances are the practice show, and the first day of a weekend visit. As the 2nd day, they tend to start parking for the return trip home....

    Sam, you slept through the good part!😂 You are living the dream, getting to experience this. I love the ending when Sam can barley walk and the pilot is still running up and down the ladder.😂 Great video.

    I was there when you filmed this! My JROTC was at camp and watching that day (yellow shirts). Such a cool video and hope to do that soon!

    Sam, the view of the sky spinning while the F-18 Hornet was performing the double 360 was so awesome, Dude. Oh, that's right; you slept through the double 360. Yeah, I'm a little GREEN. Good Job, Sam!!

    While the Blues only switched to the E/F model of the Hornet in 2021 the actual Super Hornet has been in the USN inventory over 20 years, keep in mind that the Blues hornets are some of the oldest in the entire fleet, but more than capable of performing this type of precision flying, and fortunately being just down the road from the USNA I get to see sometimes two or three times a year if they also perform over Baltimore or at Joint Base Andrews!

    • @charliejones6138

      Marines have never used the E/F model. They are AV-8B and Old C/D legacy hornet. Along with the F-35B now.

    Wow these guys must be so physically fit if they can keep a conversation going at 7 Gs while Sam looked like he was on his 500th push up then passes out lol

    I'm guessing you didn't have a G suit on either? Good job! This had to be such an amazing experience. That was a super long G LoC. Nvm the ending answered my question lol No G suit!

      @@SamEckholm I'd say for the first time in a fighter jet (I assume) and without a G-suit, you did really good! I'd give a leg to be put to sleep by a blue angel lol Awesome video, keep doing your thing

    Good job. 7Gs ant no joke. I got a ride with the Thunderbirds back in 2014. I was young and stupid, so I told my piolet I could handle anything he could. He knocked me out on the initial climb. It was brutal. But I loved it.

    Great video. The Blue Angels just flew in Seattle and actually flew within about 200ft above my house. My wife and I were mesmerized looking up at these machines piloted by their talented operators.
