Blue Angels have never flew the F14 Tomcat..They fly the F18 Hornet...Learn your jets!

[losteroni]

I stiil think the Blue Angels never should have traded the T-38 for the F-14 Tomcat A.K.A Barn door .

Farrukh you are an inspiration to all! :)

Yes T-38 requires a start cart.

HD resolution will not matter if you can't shoot. One should hold camera steady, not move and zoom too fast - that was written in the manual of my first 8 mm film camera back in 80s

[94z07]

can the T-38 self start or is the cart required?

Why are Talons so cool!?

I live in the Houston area. Just a couple of days ago I was walking home from my bus stop, when I hear a loud roar, much louder than the 737s always flying around. I see 2 small jets in formation, so I whipped out my camera and snapped 2 pictures of a pair of T-38s, almost definitely being flown by Astronauts training for STS-133. It was incredibly cool.

@Tyrannobeast I lived in Pasadena Texas in 1981 . One weekend we were taking a load out to the dump just south of Houston . On the approach road to the dump we were overflown by a pair of f-105 thudercheiif jets taking off almost simultaneously, it was awesome !

Yes that is Scorch, he stops from time to time....yes callsign is from his active duty days, really interesting to hear stories on the callsigns.....no i am not a line guy, cool you are from EFD , id love to visit there, I know a guy who works down there....he is a great photographer also.

[jmillsf18]

No I think it has something to do with him flying harries in the Marines but I'm not really sure. Do you work the line up there?

[jmillsf18]

That's Charles Hobaugh I work at EFD and see him all the time with the yellow and red helmet ;-) he always hugs the deck!

[deltasevenma7]

@jmillsf18 maybe that's why they call him "Scorch"

nice vid on sunday I got up close to the NASA F-18D at a airshow

KFSM, my airport!

[JeraldRJ1]

Nice work. I like how the Pilot stayed low shortly after TO to build speed for an extreme nose up attitude! That's how Nasa rolls.

[mholdr]

nice shooting...what camera?

notice how the airplane is in immaculate condition? spotless.

[coloclone]

Like the guy at the end of the vid....

"Outstanding!"

[Eagledriverwanted]

NICE video, he sure kept it nice and low to the ground!
