[tigermki]

@paintball8439 there are doubles of each aircraft increase of a maintence issue with one that cant be repaired overnight or in time for the show

Certainly they are angels... the Blue Angels. I saw them in Madrid and Toronto, 1965 and 1968.

At the beginning, the numbers of the jets from left are 6, 5, 7, 3, 7, and 1. I assume 2 and 4 were under maintenance... but how many number 7's are there?

[airshowfansh]

Look closely... there were some rides going on. The #2 jet had a member of the team flying (dunno who). Couldn't tell you who flew in the #4 jet...

[jllarkins]

yeah, the guy in the 4 jet looked like a guy in street clothes

[azfsiguy]

Steve,

My guess is the person in the second "7"

jet was just some VIP ride based on the helmet he/she was wearing.

Thanks for posting BTW.

I kind of wish the Blues would go back to the good old days of no music during the performance.
