just remember to give credit to the deign engineers, machinists , mechanics factory workers and ground crew that made the planes for these excellent pilots to fly
brokenwrench1 also to all the other support pilots. A buddy I grew up with is in this group photo (2nd tallest one standing), and he piloted Fat Albert during his time with the team.
And the maintenance crew to keep the planes they use in top shape. Safe/consistent to fly show after show. I'm sure after each show each plane gets many hours of maintenance.
wait really, why not wear g suits just for the comfort factor? sorry if this is a dumb question. Also are you saying they dont wear them in practice or the actual show as well?
oxysz "They do not wear G-suits because the air bladders inside repeatedly deflate and inflate, interfering with that stability. To prevent blood from pooling in their legs, Blue Angel pilots have developed a method for tensing their muscles to prevent blood from pooling in their lower extremities" Check the faq on the Blue Angels official site
The fact that they’re STILL able to pull off these maneuvers without g-suits tells you that they’ve perfect up-top breathing to both a science and an art form. Considering that they do this act like 20 times a year touring all over the country? That’s just boss level flying, man.
As a child, I worshiped these pilots and still do today. I used to play a Blue Angels simulator game in DOS as a 9-year-old child, practicing complicated maneuvers in the game's simulator-within-the-simulator before flying in actual air shows in an F-18. I wanted to be a pilot then and I still do. I hope that happens some day. Money's the main thing. Cool thing about doing it in the military is they pay for you to get the best flight training in the world. I imagine this video would give anyone pause to consider at least some of the choices they've made in life. Aviation is a miracle and I really enjoyed the chance to see the miracle workers up close and personal.
Bryce Sabinson Seen both 'American' Military teams and although the Thunderbirds are great...They're not as great as the Navy team.... And my son is an Air Force Vet....
I'm amazed how their brains can process so quickly under those circumstances as far as orientation of their aircraft and pre thinking their next moves. They're pretty much the best of the best.
2-3 live practice runs daily plus daily visualization exercises where they act out the entire flight profile in the debrief room. It's literally just constant repetition.
+FrostBlackbird Your ears pop a lot when performing the aerobatics, the gum helps to combat the change of pressure. When you're constantly chewing your ears don't pop as much. You must be careful not to choke on it though lol...
Some seriously spectacular views of Lake Washington, Seattle, Bellevue, and Boeing Field. They always do an absolutely killer job at SeaFair each year, and bring thousands of people to the shores of the lake to watch. LOVE me some Blue Angels!!!!!!
If I'm correct he stayed with his plane while it was crashing instead of ejecting if he ejected the plane would have hit a town so he steered away and rode the plane out until it crashed R.I.P.
***** He essentially sacrificed himself to prevent his plane from hitting the public. Instead of ejecting from the plane which would have saved his life but hit many, he stayed with the plane and steered it away from the public until it crashed.
I still dig both the blue angels and thunderbirds. Both teams showcase serious skills and teamwork. Their combined pride is both visible on and off the ground. I salute them all. Great vid!
Had a chance to see the Angels live years ago. When your watching on the ground you just can't appreciate how much work the pilots are doing up there - just to stay conscious!! A true art form indeed!!!
Wow. What a ride. Loved it. Memories are made of this. Thanks guys. Over my favorite fishing hole yet! Great to see a Lady in the group! Well-Done Everyone. Nice tight formation and your inverted flying 'meets' were spot-on!
It would seem that the guy with the teeth and chewing gum is the passenger, Coast Guard LCDR Jim Hiltz. He deserves special credit for looking more like a Blue Angels pilot than most of the real pilots. The team pilots all wear yellow helmets.
That was fantastic. I've seen many Blue Angel videos before...stock footage (Van Halen, Dreams)....but this was intense and really captured what they go through. I loved seeing some of the more violent wind perturbations they manage while flying in formation, as well as the speed they approach the group while trying to regain formation (seems unreal how fast they "stop" after approaching that quickly). Thanks for posting.
I have see the Blue Angels and the USAF Thunderbirds several times. Both do an awesome job of flying! Thank you for your service! LJ USAF, 1065-1969. God bless America.
Sick video. The editing fits the music perfectly. I don't know why people are bitching about it. If you don't like the music, complaining won't do shit about it.
The music was DOPE. **And the BLUE ANGELS are a MUST SEE.** Seriously, being there in person to see the jets break the sound barrier in your ears, and move through space like that is literally mind-blowing.
You can see the pilots reaction at 1:18 when they came close to striking some birds. I'm surprised there aren't more close calls when flying low. Awesome video
The only reason I could possibly give this video a thumbs down is because of the music. To me, the raw video would have been the best music for this video. (I gave it a thumbs up.)
Just wanted to clear a few things up for anyone else viewing this video. The video is of a passenger, not a pilot. Pilots are wearing their gold helmets during this show. Hence the reason for the gum chewing and looking in a direction a pilot would not be looking. I am kind of wondering if the passenger is even wearing a properly fitted G-suit, since he seems to be hitting the M-1 at lower G loads. I usually didn't have to go to the M-1 until about 4Gs w/o G-suit and about 6 with a G-suit.
1. If you have motion sickness, you wouldn't get out of pilot training, and if somehow you did, you wouldn't make it through fighter training. 2. That is the pilot, the team (leader, left and right wingmen, and slot) all fly single seat versions - look at the video. Besides, who would want an extra body back there disrupting your thought processes while undergoing a show? Just wouldn't happen. 3. Pretty much all fighter pilots learn how to open the eustachian tube by using a muscular throat maneuver that pops open the cover to the eustachian tube (the tube that leads from your throat to the inner ear.) If you can't do that, then you could use the "valsalva maneuver" to accomplish the same thing. Chewing gum is just a shorthand way of doing it if you can't do it automatically.
the video is inside a 2-seater F/A-18D, that's the guy in the back, a ride-a-long. You can see the pilot's ejection seat in the reflection of his visor. The guy in the video is not the pilot. There's two cameras, one facing the back seater, and one facing forward seeing the pilot. The gum is usually given to those who take a ride in the back.
Badass! Salute to those pilots 🫡. I can’t imagine the training and skill that goes into those flying skills.and anyone who dares fly along, chew your gum & get after it. Hats off to you!
Seen them this year at EAA again, far left side of the flightline came in right over out heads, was absolutely insane! if you've never seen them perform you must! One of the coolest things you will ever see.
The music to the video is "perfect"..... and of course the Blue Angels are OUTSTANDING!! I have the video saved and watch it when I feel all hyped up. They should ALL feel " ever so proud"!!
OMG, these guys are BEAUTIFUL - as in *awesome*! Thanks for the excellent upload. Oh, and for any who thought this stuff was easy, get a load of this pilot's face during some of the maneuvers - wow.
I've seen both Blue Angels and Thunderbirds several times....and Blue Angels are by far more thrilling. They just seem fast, quicker, more stunning. Thanks for the vid...complete awesomeness!
I know he's clenching at 0:54 to keep the g-forces from draining the blood out of his head, but it really looks like he's constipated and trying very hard to force out a shit, lol.
the music and edits make this hard to watch. The raw footage with smart cuts between the forward and rear views would've been perfect. If you have the raw footage with ambient audio and radio comms, I beg you....republish it.
One of the greatest Blue Angels videos I have ever seen. Can't stop watching this. Wow. And I actually like the music! I usually don't like music with aviation videos but this one I like. :) It goes really well with the video.
At one time I worked in El Centro, Ca at the newspaper there and belonged to the Kiwanis Club. We always sponsored a big bar-b-que after their winter training to send them off. I saw them up close and they are wonderful people. Also a great show everyday day they flew practice routines. Makes you proud to be an American. God bless this team and our military for what they do.
The old stick of gum , stick and rudder flying ! The Navy boys are the best . I've never seen a better air show . Thunderbirds are good , but these Navy guys are SUPERB🇺🇸😃👍🍻
I love the bit at 1:28 where you can see the other three planes in the pilot's visor and then watch them disappear one by one. That was very cool indeed. I've never had the opportunity to see the Blue Angels (I'd absolutely love to) but I have seen the Red Arrows (the Royal Air Force equivalent) a couple of times in England and it was an amazing experience. These pilots are incredibly skilled and flying amazing machines. I would absolutely love to fly in something like this even though I know I'd probably pass out and throw up.
I'm honored to say that one of these amazing pilots is from my home town.
That is cool
GOAT🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Same jet number one from fargo North Dakota
Wow, what an accomplishment!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸

Yes
When we all pull together ❤
And the maintenance crew to keep the planes they use in top shape. Safe/consistent to fly show after show. I'm sure after each show each plane gets many hours of maintenance.
YAWN.
I can not get enough of watching this video...Rest in Peace. Captain Jeff Kuss!
Yes. RIP Cpt. Jeff Kuss, That was sad. The Blue Angels are my favorite demonstration team.
He was fighting those G's like crazy
Kildwick 134 yeah man you could totally see it in his face

+Tom Dini I played that DOS game, too! I never got any good at it...

you have a giant forehead
Best of the BEST!
Nobody else can touch the Navy Blue Angels!
Except for the British red arrows...
6 String Fan Boom! You know it bro.
Us air fore thunderbirds

Great job.....from a former slot pilot of the Thunderbirds.....then leader.. I really enjojyed this footage. Thank you. Paul Kauttu
Ever wonder what "Pure Awesome" looks like?
Wonder no more.
Serious Cool
I know I'm late...BUT FLIGHT CHOPS OMG HEY!!
Agreed
Sitting in my office and doing the hick maneuver along with the video. That had to be the biggest rush.
It would be even more awesome if he was with 5 or 6
I find myself coming back to this video every now and then
The amount of teamwork that they have is amazing.
What happens when you chew 5 gum
You pull down your pants and jump around
+FrostBlackbird Your ears pop a lot when performing the aerobatics, the gum helps to combat the change of pressure. When you're constantly chewing your ears don't pop as much. You must be careful not to choke on it though lol...
LMAO +FrostBlackbird that made my day xD.
0:55
FrostBlackbird stimulate your senses
FrostBlackbird also the funny thing is the pilot is chewing on gum XD

Christina Zepeda aww me to 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Jack Rossman he even tried to save the plane but I believe he lost consciousness
he did eject but was too late his parachute burned and he died of blunt trauma. so sad.
Beautiful work! Kudos to Michael Ashton!
My goodness that must be exhausting. True physical and mental work. Bravo!!!!
Rest in Peace, Captain Jeff Kuss!
Big Red yeah sadly :( but my favourite Jets No offence Thunderbirds your awesome As well :)
I still dig both the blue angels and thunderbirds. Both teams showcase serious skills and teamwork. Their combined pride is both visible on and off the ground.
I salute them all. Great vid!
this is sooooo crazy I just seen the blue angels in frisco today, much respect to these talented pilots they are true dare devils
Had a chance to see the Angels live years ago. When your watching on the ground you just can't appreciate how much work the pilots are doing up there - just to stay conscious!! A true art form indeed!!!
They always come through Baltimore
Wow. What a ride. Loved it. Memories are made of this. Thanks guys. Over my favorite fishing hole yet! Great to see a Lady in the group! Well-Done Everyone. Nice tight formation and your inverted flying 'meets' were spot-on!
My uncle was a test pilot for the Corsair, I feel with this video, I am with him for a ride. Thx.
It would seem that the guy with the teeth and chewing gum is the passenger, Coast Guard LCDR Jim Hiltz. He deserves special credit for looking more like a Blue Angels pilot than most of the real pilots. The team pilots all wear yellow helmets.
ExPoSeD!!!!!!
He handles the G well
Thank you Blue Angels for performing in Seattle again this year!! I enjoyed the show and this video is awesome!!
Absolutely stunning and amazing video!
That was fantastic. I've seen many Blue Angel videos before...stock footage (Van Halen, Dreams)....but this was intense and really captured what they go through. I loved seeing some of the more violent wind perturbations they manage while flying in formation, as well as the speed they approach the group while trying to regain formation (seems unreal how fast they "stop" after approaching that quickly).

Incredible flying! And these guys make it look SOOOO easy!
A BIG, PROUD< THANK YOU for taking us into the air.
I have see the Blue Angels and the USAF Thunderbirds several times. Both do an awesome job of flying! Thank you for your service! LJ USAF, 1065-1969. God bless America.

If you don't like the music, complaining won't do shit about it.
+JakeNat I don't like the music
So complaining about the complaining will do what?
The music was DOPE. **And the BLUE ANGELS are a MUST SEE.**
Seriously, being there in person to see the jets break the sound barrier in your ears, and move through space like that is literally mind-blowing.
But the music is a piece of S&&^%TTTT
JakeNat .
Navy pilots are the finest pilots on this earth. Blue Angels are best of the best. What an awesome video!
I watched this guys yesterday in Lancaster. Murica 🇺🇸
You can see the pilots reaction at 1:18 when they came close to striking some birds. I'm surprised there aren't more close calls when flying low. Awesome video
My parents cooked dinner for these guys. They own a Dutch oven catering bussiness. I went with and got to talk to them
Nice, that's cool!
(1:21) That's a computer wallpaper shot, right there. 😉 The image of the other three jets reflected in his visor is awesome. 😎
The only reason I could possibly give this video a thumbs down is because of the music. To me, the raw video would have been the best music for this video.
(I gave it a thumbs up.)
Thank you for the update info.I was pretty dismayed about the cancelling of last years schedule and thought it was forever.Thanks again,Frank

I usually didn't have to go to the M-1 until about 4Gs w/o G-suit and about 6 with a G-suit.
Haha thanks. I thought it was an extremely nonchalant pilot!
Blue Angel pilots do not wear G-Suits
I had to look it up, too. When he stretches and "smiles". This should help.
goflightmedicine.com/agsm/
So does any one know that guys real name??
hey hey finally someone says that. bravo I've been waiting.
one of the best cockpit view videos I've ever seen. Great job dude.
You really have to trust your life in your own crew to be one of them.
Never gets old .Awesome every time you see them fly
Good inside cockpit footage. wish i could have heard better the conversation between the pilots.
it's classified - if other countries heard what they were saying, they'd try to be as cool.
Very nice footage. As an Air Force Veteran I appreciate what goes into this show.
Embracing each G with class! 😎
Embracing G's like G's
Thanks for coming to Missoula Montana and talking with our high school students Johnny Kittens :).
Just saw them today :D
Totally amazing
To whom it may concern at the legendary Blue Anglels,
Please make more videos like this.
Thank you,
Proud American
Awsome video love it and I also like the music
"MAKE MORE THE SAME!!!!!"
Probably chewing ginger gum to keep from getting too motion sick. Great footage!!
I have a suspicion that any pilot that finds himself in the blue angels wing is pretty much impervious to motion sickness.
That's not the pilot. That's a guest flying in the back seat.
Chewing also helps equalize pressure in your ears.
1. If you have motion sickness, you wouldn't get out of pilot training, and if somehow you did, you wouldn't make it through fighter training.
2. That is the pilot, the team (leader, left and right wingmen, and slot) all fly single seat versions - look at the video. Besides, who would want an extra body back there disrupting your thought processes while undergoing a show? Just wouldn't happen.

Somebody actually downvoted.... how is that possible?
Russians
An American hating liberal snowflake.
It was an airforce puke!
Probably because of the music^^
its the commies lol
I LOVE all my Navy pilot uncles....6 decades so far and the granddaughter is growing as fast as she can!!! Move over boys!!!
Seattle Seafair, baby!
The music to the video is "perfect"..... and of course the Blue Angels are OUTSTANDING!! I have the video saved and watch it when I feel all hyped up. They should ALL feel " ever so proud"!!
3:18 - Wow that is a close pass
It took you five years but you finally got someone
OMG, these guys are BEAUTIFUL - as in *awesome*! Thanks for the excellent upload. Oh, and for any who thought this stuff was easy, get a load of this pilot's face during some of the maneuvers - wow.
In this video you can really see how hard they strain to withstand the g's
Wow! How am I just seeing this?! Dude you rocked that ride! Looked like you’ve been doing that your whole life! The best ride along video on the net!
It looks like Seattle.
+Joshua Smith It is. Seafair Hydroplane races. Every August.
Its Seattle i can see my house in one of the videos
Thats exactly what I said the second I saw those bridges my dude. Amazing, I moved but I still remember it.
Joshua Smith All about Seafair Weekend
No its Pensacola Florida because that's there home base because I live there
I've seen both Blue Angels and Thunderbirds several times....and Blue Angels are by far more thrilling. They just seem fast, quicker, more stunning.
Thanks for the vid...complete awesomeness!
0:18 When your ear pops every second
I saw them once at the Chicago Air and Water Show. It was awesome seeing them fly over the beautiful skyline. Awesome Stunts
A Chicagoan i used to go to that every year with my family!
RIP to their mate.
Awesome! Big respect from UK.
I feel like I just did 7.5 G's in my office chair...
Seattle,Wa. has got to be one of their favorite places to fly! Thanks!
RIP JEFF KUSS :(
I love how excited he looks when he does the roll! his face is awesome!😁
He looks excited? Lol
I know he's clenching at 0:54 to keep the g-forces from draining the blood out of his head, but it really looks like he's constipated and trying very hard to force out a shit, lol.
Damn lmao.
You blue angles are so relaxed. Having a great time flying The friendly skys of Seattle!!
Hehh... Looks like he is trying to Shit A Brick.
Fighting g's like a boss
Thanks for the link...
No its so he doesn't pass out
you would too!
LOL... I would pass out before doing that...
The Blue Angles are awesome. The performances are always top notch.
the music and edits make this hard to watch. The raw footage with smart cuts between the forward and rear views would've been perfect. If you have the raw footage with ambient audio and radio comms, I beg you....republish it.
coma13794 What?!
I admire these servicemen, in whatever branch they serve, but I agree that the music in this video is unpleasant.
would like to see you do any better!
This music is badass. Dubstep/electronic/pop mix.
One of the greatest Blue Angels videos I have ever seen. Can't stop watching this. Wow. And I actually like the music! I usually don't like music with aviation videos but this one I like. :) It goes really well with the video.
I like the part where he turned the world upside down.
At one time I worked in El Centro, Ca at the newspaper there and belonged to the Kiwanis Club. We always sponsored a big bar-b-que after their winter training to send them off. I saw them up close and they are wonderful people. Also a great show everyday day they flew practice routines. Makes you proud to be an American. God bless this team and our military for what they do.
What makes people put the damn music on these videos?....
I posted my first videos without music and people told me it was a bit awkward without music.
Danny Montgomery what's the matter with the music
The blue angels produced this video.
Danny Montgomery Well im fine with like thunderstruck but daft punk is kinda gay
Danny I hear you play patriotic music if any
The old stick of gum , stick and rudder flying ! The Navy boys are the best . I've never seen a better air show . Thunderbirds are good , but these Navy guys are SUPERB🇺🇸😃👍🍻
good video bad music, should be Sammy hagar or van halen
+300tank I turned the "music" OFF. Thanks for your comment.
@300tank There's a great vid. on here of them with Van Halen-Dreams music. Just search Blue Angels Van Halen Dreams and you'll find it. It's badass
Or Joe Satriani Surfing with the Alien
I just can't get enough of this stuff!!! AWESOME!!!
I LOVE TURKİSH STARS ❤❤❤
amazing! great flying lcdr john paul hiltz! love the grrrr!
Anyone know the name of the remix in the background?
post it here, please.
Darude - Sandstorm
Im joking, the song is "Jack Conte - Daft Punk Skrillex Remix"
thanks!
Mike Whitney No problem, future tip: If you ever want to know the name of a song in a video, check the description, it is very likely to be there.
Its at the end of the video. And also in the video description box. Read before you make a stupid comment.
This Is Why I Love 💕 USN BlueAngles... Omgosh ! They Are Bada**es Down To Their Bones 💯
These guys are legit! Awesome video!
This absolutely has to be the best one!!
Finally a military video with a more updated soundtrack. Please make more of the same! and put more Go Pros in and out. Come to Australia.
im going to see them tomarrow for the first time...so exited
Fricken' Awesome!! Love watching these amazing guys fly these 18's. Maybe my son can do this someday? Can only hope…
I like it when they go low over the water and kick up a wake. Cool flying!
had a VIP show in Pensacola met the team great show, these guys are awesome
Blue Angels ❤❤❤❤
The best of the best!
I love it ❤
Great Video...fantastic!!!
Go Navy ,You guys are still the best of the best , keep soaring
seeing yall tomorrow. you do a great job every year! looking forward to it ;)
Okay, this was insanely cool to see after just seeing them at the Houston Air Show recently! So impressive but also completely crazy!
I love seeing these guys fly over my home town! Seattle is such a beautiful city!
I love the bit at 1:28 where you can see the other three planes in the pilot's visor and then watch them disappear one by one. That was very cool indeed.
I've never had the opportunity to see the Blue Angels (I'd absolutely love to) but I have seen the Red Arrows (the Royal Air Force equivalent) a couple of times in England and it was an amazing experience. These pilots are incredibly skilled and flying amazing machines. I would absolutely love to fly in something like this even though I know I'd probably pass out and throw up.
Glad to be somewhat part of making this possible. Go Boeing!
Cojones the size of bricks! Amazing video, thanks for uploading.
