@pbplaya5: Because the Blue Angels are hot dogs and the T-Birds are less so. Wearing the 02 mask serves two purposes at low altitude, 1) Bird strike protection to the face, it's better than nothing. 2) Face protection in case you have to eject. It is Air Force regs to have at least the clear blast-shield down during take-off, low level maneuvering, and landing. The 02 mask might make for better audio sound during radio communications. You see, in the Air Force, it's cool to follow the rules.
Hey man sick clip, love you videos. Quick question: Anyone know why the pilots 270 degree clock wise roll before to turn left and vice versa? Is it just for looks?
The Thunderbirds wear G-suits because they fly a jet that can snap a lot more G's than the F/A-18, in the F-16. The F-16 will do 10G's easily. The F/A-18 does a bout 8 before the G-limiter kicks in. The inducement of G's is also a lot faster in the F-16, which can turn quite a bit tighter, and roll much faster, than the F/A-18. So the Blue Angels can all them sissies in G-suits (which they actually don't), but I call them: Flying a better jet.
This is wrong information. The Blue Angels do not wear G-suits because they fly the F/A-18, which you correctly state; however, it's not because the plane is not as maneuverable. On the contrary, it is because the stick is in the middle, between the pilot's legs. For the F-16, the stick is on the right side of the cockpit. The G-suit does not cause a disturbance in control of the plane for the F-16 in this case, where for the F/A-18, it could cause a crash (because it is in the middle).
This was and is awesome! Even though the version of the original song by R. Kelly is a bit radical, I still liked the video itself! Great work! I hope to see more from you!
naw blue angles kick the thunderbirds tail! lol. I just say that cus my dad was navy so its been hardwired into me over the years. I myself am joining the marines and then the navy. respect!
i just watch your clip (again...haha) and listen to my Suicidal Tendencies-you can't bring me down- it was good!! but your song in the clip is perfect choice... and Great band too.
another Great clip! brings back some 1986 memories when the Thunderbird team roaring in Indonesia sky! back when i was 11yrs... and i got this Polaroid picture of me and the pilot (#4??... the colour is faded), anyway! Thank you so much. Now i must tidy up my bookcase... Again! :) haha.
I noticed that in one of the shots theres something going on. When he's climbing he should be going back in the seat but his helment is going forward. wierd.
WAIT!!! AT :25 THE RED FLAG IS STILL ON THE JET!!!! OHHH NOO!!
