If any of the pilots, current or retired, you guys are the best in the world...my dad took me at the age of 5 and have been at the cleveland air show ever since...thunderbirds are good...the blue angels are amazing...keep up the good work guys and be safe
Since they are naval pilots and have to land on carriers, the Blue Angels >>>> Thunderbirds. Higher roll rates are a function of the aircraft, not the pilots.
Ever since my one - and only - BA Airshow at MCAS El Toro around 1980, I've watched, admired, and respected these folks with the utmost pride and awe. Great videography, airshowfansh, and -- The BA prove again, and again, why we should ALL appreciate and respect the free country we live within.
#4 and #6 are flying dual seat aircraft b/c they are back up aircraft. While they are used for media flights, no one flies in the "pit" during a demo. In this show, #4 and #6 had mechanical issues. Show never stops! sweet
Well you should really try to get there sometime you should come next year! The Blue Angels are gonna be there! You know the cool thing? We have the same narrater as the Atlantic City Airshow!
I would have to disagree. Although I think the Blue Angels are an excellent demonstration team, beating our British Red Arrows, I would definately say that the Italian Tri Colore (Or whatever they are, in those Aeromacchi's anyway); I think they are the best.
Personal preference really, i suppose!
Good Job US Navy. Really need to see them before I die(!)
blue angels rule and even tho they are missing a pilot they will never faulter. what kojak would want them to do is keep flying. the thunderbirds are cool too i saw them when i was like 4 or 5 and i dont think ill ever forget it
Airshowfansh you too get two thumbs up for a well shot video. These Are truly the best pilots the word will ever see. My Deepest Regaurds too LCDR Kevin Davis And His Family As Well As His Blue Angel Family He Will Deeply Missed But He Will Still Be Flying. High.
T-Birds and Snowbirds better pilots? Afraid not. Can't recall the last time either one landed on the rolling and pitching deck of an aircraft carrier!
Just watched EDA on You Tube. Very nice and safe prop air show. Just beacuse they fly more planes, that isn't always a better thing. They fly very loose. Not 18" wingtip to canpoy like the Blue's. I suggest you watch the Blue's again and come back and honestly tell me that the EDA is better. This is minor league compared to major league.
That's because one of the regular solo aircraft developed a mechanical problem. If you look you'll notice one of the diamond planes is a two-seaters as well (#4).
It looks like one of the two solos in a two-seater as well. If I had to guess I'd say one plane developed problems and the other was flying with a "newbie". As the new team members come aboard they're all flown in the back seat during a demonstration.
I was there on saturday, and the Blues actually had to send one of the external jets down to Pensacola, the main base to pick up an diffrent jet. The jet made it back, right as the Blues show was to start.
lol they only fly prop planes u jokin?? meh neither of these teams can touch the skill and the formationof the snowbirds....although they fly 9 planes
They fly 9, but jet and powerfull ones. I´d like to see them doing the same in prop planes as you sad. I saw personately and it is amazing. They broke the world record, they flew just 12 in inverted flight. Aha
lol there tranning jets, ohh not really powerful ones though, they actually near stall speed looping.....and, snowbirds can loop all wingtip to wingtip , kinda harder than juss flying inverted
Yep, and bear in mind that it's the skills these pilots demonstrate (military techniques, all of them) that have secured your right to say things like that.
What a waste of that first post by a typical YouTube idiot. A sharp salute to all of our extremely skilled Navy & Marine pilots, with a special nod for our Blue Angels, the best at what they do - precision flying. Give 'em hell, guys.
This this is where my tax dollars is going.

Thunderbirds have a faster takeoff roll, faster roll rate, tighter turns. blue angels can land on aircraft carriers so they both are equal
lukepevensie 3 years ago
blue angel isnt a plane. its a team. the planes they use are f18 super hornets.
mrjack1112000 2 years ago
OK first what you said has no relevance to "lukepevensie "s comment
second you clearly know nothing about the blue angels
they fly F 18a models...................a "normal" hornet
the difference between the hornet and super hornet are near impossible to mistake by nearly anyone.
grame141 2 years ago
Except that the Super Hornets are HUGE and have square intakes. They arent all F-18a's. #4 is a b (2-seat)

Superb flying in every single aspect of the air show.
No group can top the Navy Blue Angels. We met the pilots at dinner and they were fantastic American
icons; kind, humorous, friendly, outgoing, modest,
concerned, warm, polite.
