[bobsurgranny]

[kingcanute907]

What camera do you use to record the majority of your videos?

[scupking]

Can't wait to see the Blues there this year. This years show will also have the F-22 Raptor demo.

[kingcanute907]

@scupking i don't think i'll ever get to see an F-22 Demo...

[MrSolracable]

i love the thunderbirds and the music they use, F-16 F110-GE-100 turbofan at full throttle + AC/DC, GNR, or Motley Crue = epic win beyond anything else, it cant be beat, the only thing that could make it better is a hot chick along with it oh man

[JackFlemingFan]

Excellent!

[anthonyf1999]

[RainbowManification]

[thehoaxbuster]

15:37

pants are no longer dry.

[thehoaxbuster]

The Trail to Diamond Roll/Sneak Pass sequence gives me chills even when I put that portion on auto repeat.

[TheRock199017]

Great Video ,Great sound which camera do you use?

[gangstor123]

It sounds exactly like what the guy sounded like at the 2010 Westfield Intl airshow when he was announcing before take-off.

[coolyo366]

im surprised they didnt do a low show because it looked rather cloudy at the time

[AirshowGeeks]

Great capture of the 'Birds! Love the signature sneak pass at 15:32

[deplepfan]

nothing better than a f-16 o yeah put the thunderbirds in them makes awesome plane and show

[killfuz]

Thunderchickens to the rescue. navy Blue Angels are better

[bassplaya1549]

@killfuz They both are very good jet teams...I really don't think it's fair to say one is better than the other because they both risk their lives entertaining crowds all around the world.

[kingneptune117]

wow look at that thing turn. Go viper drivers!

[kiwi123446]

u better BELIEVE those lightning takeoffs were louder live!

[Fernandoperesfer]

They have an awesome soundtrack for the show, makes it even more amazing!

[taktikal24]

gotta love the point where she says "climbs three miles, straight up" and he pulls the minimum radius turn. hahaha 22:10

[lukepevensie]

hey, steve, is the runway too short in this video.

[airshowfansh]

@lukepevensie The reason they did the lightning takeoffs was the fact that the crowd line was only 425' from the centerline of the runway (the 500' line). The runway is plenty long for any jet team - heck we had the Raptor there last year! The Thunderbirds have done their normal diamond takeoff there in the past...come to think of it the fact they did the lightning takeoffs also solidifies why they said no loop on takeoff either...

[spins321]

@airshowfansh Have the blue angels performed there, and do they do a single ship takeoff?

[airshowfansh]

@spins321 Blues would probably do their normal takeoff sequence like they always have... the Thunderbirds have done their normal takeoff sequence here in the past...

[thehoaxbuster]

@airshowfansh

Is it true that due to USAF regulations the Thunderbirds are not allowed to fly as close together as the Blue Angels?

[saintrobbie375]

@thehoaxbuster It's not so much regulations as common sense. As awesome and amazing as the Blues are, they are well on the side of dangerous with how close they get. They have lost 10% of the pilots to ever fly with the Blues: A lot higher then any other military flying display team

[SoccerBoy77]

@airshowfansh they did the same thing at Westfield this year

[pasley21]

yeah was the runway not wide enough for the diamond to takeoff together?

[bassplaya1549]

Female announcer?

[airshowfansh]

@bassplaya1549 Yeah... Capt. Kristin Hubbard.

[blueangel0394]

@airshowfansh shes hot too. and has an amazing voice. best announcer they have had in about 2 years

[kingcanute907]

@airshowfansh which means she'll be flight leader for 2011 correct?

[dustydan95]

do you know if the diamond took offf in order
