  • the sneak passes don't come from the side of the crowd ... they fly from behind and "sneak" up on them .. Obviously you've never been to a Blue Angels airshow

  • @TheCrunk200 Actually you're wrong ...the #5 Solo comes from the side and #6 Solo comes from behind the crowd right after #5 passes. The other 4 Blue Angels perform the Left Echelon Roll right before the Sneak Pass which would have you looking in the opposite direction of #5 Solo sneaking up on the crowd. I've seen them perform 20+ times.

  • @bpayte this is at alliance airport in fort worth, this solo is coming from right to left, therefore he is not the sneak. Im not wrong.

  • @TheCrunk200 From the crowds perspective he is traveling left to right. Both solos are considered part of the sneak pass after the Left Echelon Roll ...the Blue Angels even state this!

  • Holy Shit!!

  • @peytonxj529 Yes 700 mph.

  • Not 700 mph.

  • looks like mcconnell afb in wichita

    

  • No matter what happened, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make a sonic boom this close to land and people.

  • such an awesome thing to watch. i saw the blue angels at Offut AFB in Omaha. had a B2 bomber flyover as well. so damn cool

  • I got to see those at an airshow once! They were so amazing!

  • Damn, some of these people dont know shit about jets..why even comment?

  • Crazy...However they are not allowed to break the sound barrier during airshows as a restriction :( I always thought they were flying faster than the speed of sound but I just found out about the restriction.

  • Guys... just because he didn't sonic boom when he made the pass doesn't mean he wasnt ALREADY either above, or below the speed of sound. I'm not 100% sure but considering that you can't hear anything until the plane is already past the camera man I suspect he was already traveling faster than the speed of sound. Then as he passes the camera man the sound catches up with him

  • @TheZohaun Sound travels slower than light, always. You will always see something before you hear something. The delay from sight to sound is relative.

  • @foxtrot789 I'm aware of that... However I'm talking about sight in respect to the viewer. I don't mean you see it before you hear it. I mean you see it pass before you hear anything. Hence the term "sneak pass." When you pass the speed of sound you break the sound barrier and the sound pans out behind you in a V shape similar to the wake of a boat on the water. I know how the whole thing works I was trying to explain it to others. This is about it passing before hearing not seeing

  • i just have one thing to say if this plane was truly going 700MPH it would've broken the sound barrier because the speed of sound at sea level is 700MPH and as altitude increases the speed of sound decreases

  • @MegaGuy72 As I posted above: At sea level a sonic boom happens at around 761 mph. The Blue Angels also state that the sneak pass is flown at or close to 700 mph.

  • @MegaGuy72 also, you probably would have seen a vapor cone cloud start to form on the jet if he was just under mach 1.

  • @MrBillLumberg If there was sufficient humidity possibly. 

  • @MegaGuy72 Speed of sound is like 763mph...

  • @MegaGuy72 you fail at life. A 30 second google search could have saved you from the uncalled for embarrasment that bpayte has given you with his 100% factual post. You should kill yourself for pretending to have a brain.

  • "if you're on a highway and the road runner goes BEEP BEEP, Just step aside or you might end up in a heap BEEP BEEP"

  • I went to a Blue Angels show back in the late 80's or early 90's and when they did that pass, the announcer said, "and that's what 350 mph sounds like...". None of us heard it coming til it was almost right in front of us, because our backs were turned to it, but it was ear splitting and had us jumping out of our skin. I just remember thinking how glad I was that he wasn't dropping nape.

  • The fact you kept the plane in the frame suggests he wasn't travelling at 700mph. I'd guess the second part of the video is the true speed and you're trying to take the piss out of us noisy jet fans.

  • @snoopy9949 You obviously haven't been to a Blue Angels airshow if you think the second part of the video is the true speed.

  • @bpayte You're spot on, I haven't been to a Blue Angels airshow but I have watched  many Blue Angels videos and I've yet to see anything worth watching.

  • @Its obviously slowed down you can tell by the image around the trees

  • @snoopy9949 have you witnessed other videos of jets breaking the sound barrier? they are going faster than 700 mph and the person recording is able to keep the jet in frame. the x-34a unmanned ramjet went 7,000 mph and they were able to keep in the viewfinder. stop being ignorant.

  • @Cdino88 If you think this jet is breaking the sound barrier you must be nuts. 350 to 400mph at the very max. Are you one of those people who think every puff of condensation is a sonic boom?

  • @snoopy9949 show me where i said that jet broke the sound barrier...go ahead, i'm waiting. i have personally seen top fuel dragsters go in 330+mph. you are not going to tell me that is 350-400 mph. are you one of those uneducated people that think they know what they are talking about but really don't?

  • @snoopy9949 believe me thats how fast they go. i have seen them many times and other air force f/a-18's

  • I liek planz

  • More likely going around 300 or so......... no where near 700 :)

  • @gtidan they have to be going over 600 something to break the sound barrier

  • @gtidan if it were at 300 the sound would have been there almost 400 mph faster than it was. they CANT do a sneak pass at 300 because in order for the sound to get there afterwards(which is necessary for a sneak pass) they have to be going faster than the speed of sound. im not sure the exact number of that but it is definitely more than 300. . . or 400. . . or 500. so yea. it was at if not close to 700. GOOD TRY THOUGH!

  • bring me back when he is going super sonic :)

  • I saw these once... they were amazing!

  • FUCKING FAST

  • Damn, why didn't you tell me to turn down the sound? My ears are broken...

  • @notsnuf98 Depends on the altitude of the plane. At sea level a sonic boom happens at around 761 mph. The Blue Angels also state that the sneak pass is flown at or close to 700 mph. So who failed? ;)

  • @bpayte I'm pretty sure notsnuf98 is the one who failed.

  • @bpayte it also depends on the atmosphere climate like humidity

  • @bpayte I FAILED

  • @bpayte I just think that it might not have been 700 maybe 600 but 700? ehh

  • @bpayte waaah waaaaaaah waaaaaaaah. I think he failed.

  • @notsnuf98 no you fail lol speed of sound is 761.1mph f-18 isnt even transonic yet at 600 mph

  • @notsnuf98 A sonic boom happens when an object exceeds the speed of sound. Which is depended on altitude and air density. So at 100ft the air is much more dense than at 10,000ft. There for a plane must travel faster to exceed the sound barrier. Duh

  • @notsnuf98 you sir, are misinformed

  • @notsnuf98 That was not a sonic boom. The craft was moving almost as fast as the sound it created. That is why you heared it just as the craft became perpendicular to the viewers location. If he was moving faster than sound you would have heard it sound much longer (relatively) than you did in this video. I could go further but I digress due to the fact that I wish to keep drinking my beer instead of continuing this comment.

  • @notsnuf98 Wow. I like people like you. Your arrogance only makes you sound more like a dumbass. The speed of sound is variable. So, no. YOU fail.

  • omg what page is battleable's comment

  • Lol, let's watch a high speed pass in slow motion. That'll be cool.

  • I used to be stationed at Pensacola Naval air station and i watched them flying almost every day it was quite a experience

  • i find it funny that the person who posted this video has both the top comments

  • clean

  • Why can't we all just try and believe and hope for the best and stuff or somethin.

  • wheres everybody else?

  • Comment removed

  • Big deal. Yawn Yawn.

  • I would give up sex for 1 year to fly this bad boy..... and i REALLY LIKE SEX...

  • now thats how you travel

  • Im not saying i know anything about the subject but its funny how other people come watch jet videos and think they know the whole fucking business

  • That Angel is going about 625 mph... Not 700. But... Nice video!

  • Comment removed

  • I was at a show a few months ago when they did this....scared the daylights out of everyone hahahaha!!!

  • Hornet haulin ass!

  • ahh it scared me XD

  • That is fucking powerful. What a sound.

  • BLUE ANGLES ARE BAD ASS!

  • I was at a Blue Angels show a few years back and one of the F-18 demonstration team pilots did that low a flyby at 700 over the Blue Angels ground crew along with the show MC (he was chatting with the ground crew while the demonstration PR rep was manning the mic). The FAA reps were not too happy about that one at all.

  • UFO!!!!

  • We could clearly see that going by @ 700mph, but nobody saw a passenger plane crash into the Pentagon. got it!

  • @TinnInches ... There were scores of people that saw the plane hit the pentagon. 

  • @allater3 That's normal... You usually can't hear anything as a waterpark...

  • I was a water park once and they were practicing over it, and they did this and banked up right over me, i couldn't hear for about 20 mins and it was AWESOME!

  • OH SH--

  • I dont know but its been said "navy wings are made of lead"

  • I love when people try to make a comment in attempt to make someone look stupid, then it gets completely turned on them. Awesome video.

  • Damn hes really late for work.

  • look stuped peole i am a pilot with mor than 2000 hour experinc i am rely sory but its a 20 fet to 50 don't respond 

  • @battelable Yeah right. You're a pilot but you have 3rd grade level grammar & spelling skills.

  • @battelable i don't think so

  • @battelable Im gonna save this page and show this to my kids and say, "Well this is what happens when you don't pass the 2nd grade."

  • @battelable Learn to spell... God, and if that was 20 feet* then people would probably end up in the hospital getting their ears replaced

  • @battelable I do believe that you're a pilot, no sarcasm intended, in Ace Combat or Hawx.

  • @battelable you even spelled battle wrong in your username

  • Mach 1 varies. Depending on altitude and barometric pressure. It can be as low a about 550 on the deck and as high as 800 way up high in the thin atmosphere.

  • That kind of speed on the deck in dense atmosphere...VERY bumpy ride!!!

  • they should drop fake napalm on the crowd or dop bomblets loaded with free t shirts.

  • I need to find v9video

  • lol 700mph. more like 70.0mph, bugatti veyron goes faster than that jet

  • @TheXolitude 70mph? We can go that fast on the highway. I sincerely doubt a plane could do little more than plumet out of the sky at 70mph that close to the ground.

  • you guys are getting fucked up dont try to argue with the uploader hes just fucken raping you in front of everybody lol.

  • my farts break the sound barrier.

  • @jjjazzycraig

    Maybe the smell barrier...

  • wow it was me! i must have been drunk cos i dont remember doing that!

  • Comment removed

  • I want to see an airshow during a snowstorm..really really

  • During airshows and over populated areas, fighters are allowed to fly just under the Mach 1 barrier. Oh and by the way Mach 1 is attained at 768 mph not 753. This was just under 700 mph. (I've been to more than my fair share of airshows here in Louisville)

  • American air force never flys that low!

  • When I lived in the Mira Mesa neighborhood of San Diego, this sneak pass would go directly over my house every year during the Mirimar NAS (now MCAS) airshow. Don't be shaving.

  • umm was this during a show because the lowest they can go in a show is 500 ft

  • This is what happened to me at Dobbins in Marietta, GA last year. I had just gotten out of my car and started to look up (in the wrong direction) and from behind me comes a Blue Angel sneak attack. I almost crapped my pants! Incredible!

  • The likes of you caused me to dump my beer at the last show... grrr.. lol

  • Just saw them at an Airshow on Saturday. The announcer did not warn us of the "Sneak" Pass. I can now see how it gets its name. If anyone was ever on the receiving end of one of those, they would be dead before they even knew what hit them!

  • Been there!

  • Are you people morons!!!???? I agree with 100+ feet.......... The plane height itself is around 15 feet, and you can fit that height many times below the clearing distance.

  • WHEW!! I thought stock cars were fast lol

  • oh my GOD you people are crazy!!! bpayte is right its 700 mph at 100 feet ive seen this a million times

  • 350 is what they do on the pass

  • I love when they do this, nobody ever sees it coming because it's silent until it passes you

  • @battelable altitude of 20 feet ...I don't think so. The plane is 56 ft in length to give it some scale.

  • @bpayte i'd judge it around 50 feet up

  • @bpayte Thanks for correcting this ignorant moron..... lol

  • @bpayte Yeah your right their not allowed to fly below 50ft legally.

  • @TFZ14 The Blue Angels performance is cleared down to the surface (0ft). During the sneak pass (as seen here) they may go down to 50ft but that's about it.

  • @XxSniperXXairsoftxX  The Blue Angels fly the f18.

  • @bpayte i know i thought you were talking about the f15

  • @bpayte so does (did) my uncle

  • @XxSniperXXairsoftxX You're right, the F15 is about 64 feet. F18 is a bit smaller at 56.

  • @XxSniperXXairsoftxX the blue angels fly the F-18 ... and yes it is roughly 100FT

  • @XxSniperXXairsoftxX lol n00b

  • @XxSniperXXairsoftxX bigger idiot

  • @XxSniperXXairsoftxX no it is not. whos asscrack do you pull your bs out of. you clerly have issues in dealing with depth perception, distance, scale, comprehension, need i go on. what is the point of even writing a comment like yours other then for you to pass time in your uneventful drall life. enjoy your own bs for a minute while you readthis comment because there is no real basis to it other then for me to sit and chuckle at your stupidity. i await your highly thought out response:)

  • @STiNGFiST77 i ment f18 and how are you going to say i have no idea what im saying my friends dad is a pilot i come from an airforce family and why do say that its a video ive only scene f100s and f4s close im obviusly not going to know the exact size and depth im human i make mistakes and yes it is the f22 is 6 feet long the f18 (which is what i ment NOT f22) is 56 feet from nose to tail look it up on the actual companys website NOT wikipedia

  • @battelable what a fool....

  • @battelable you are the blind ignorant trying-to-be-a-smart-but-inste­ad-making-a-dumb person...... The F/A-18 HEIGHT alone is 15',4"...... I don't know, but to me, you can fit at least 7 times that height below the flyby distance.....

  • @battelable If you really think that's 20 feet then you have absolutely no perception of distance.

  • @battelable that was definitely not 20 feet

  • @battelable are you retarded??? 20 feeT????? i back him up it is about 100 XD

  • @battelable If that were 20 feet, he'd be leaving a trench behind him.

  • @battelable you stupid? go back to school fool

  • @battelable its 63 feet long

  • @battelable if he was 20 feet off the ground he wld be hitting those trees...

  • @battelable idiot

  • @battelable Are you stupid? Thats p\most likely more than a hundred feet. If I am six foot then i stack four of me ontop of each other I could touch the plane? So don't put stupid comments on videos you know nothing about.

  • JUST SAW THEM TODAY IN QUANSET POINT!

  • Mach 1 is 753 MPH at sea level. this was not 700...

  • @fnlrun From the Blue Angels... What are the fastest and slowest speeds flown during an air show?

    The fastest speed is about 700 mph (just under Mach 1; Sneak Pass) and the slowest speed is about 120 mph (indicated speed; Section High Alpha), both flown by the solo pilots during the show.

  • @fnlrun I know it's hard to believe, but at the air show at MCAS Miramar they have high speed passes as well, with an announced speed of 700 MPH.

  • @fnlrun 

  • @fnlrun He's also flying about 850 feet above sea level sooo idk how you're coming to your conclusion.

  • @kryp10yt I don't care if he's at 30,000 ft. He's not doing Mach 1 in your video, nowhere close to 700

  • @fnlrun Never said he was doing mach 1 ...just under. So how fast was he going? Did sound take the day off and travel slower on this day? Do the Blue Angels state that the sneak pass is around 700 mph just for the hell of it? ...Any slower and it wouldn't be a sneak pass! :)

  • @fnlrun First off this isn't my video. Secondly, you didn't answer my question.

  • @fnlrun I don't believe it reaches 700mph in this clip either, although you can see that it's still accelerating. It probably reaches the approximately 700mph mark when it flies over the crowd.

  • @fnlrun Mach 1 varies with temperature!

  • @Sterlingjob and altitude. this was not mach 1

    

  • @fnlrun there is always a know it all, dude chill out, just enjoy the damn video you wannabe.

  • @fnlrun also its 761.2mph not 753:)

    

  • @fnlrun Because the F/A-18 Hornet doesn't reach trans-sonic speeds until it actually goes supersonic at mach 1.01 the hornet is able to hit Mach.97-.98 on its high speed pass making 700mph very realistic.

  • Comment removed

  • hahahaha 700 mach 2? thats not even mach 1 around 750mph is mach

  • Haulin the mail

  • No way the first one is 700mph. That's almost mach 2 or faster (video sped up) and I know Blue Angels don't go that fast. Second one looks much more accurate of 700mph. Nice fly by though.

  • @Wildmnky247 The video is not sped up ...watch other Blue Angel sneak passes on YouTube. I have an unedited version of this sneak pass in my videos section.

  • @Wildmnky247 700 mph is barely mach 1 at that altitude...

  • @Wildmnky247 I'm sorry, but you have no idea what your talking about. That may not even be quite 700 mph but its close. Make sure your educated before you speak.

  • @Wildmnky247 Definitely not sped up. I see them all the time here in Pensacola.

  • @Wildmnky247 Why on earth would someone take the time and effort to film a jet plane then speed it up?? Just watch the video and shut up.

  • @Wildmnky247 lol mach 2 is more like 1300mph

  • @wardy92 Actually it's more like 1,520mph and that's exactly what I'm looking at in the first part of the video. There is a difference between the first half and the second half.

  • @Wildmnky247 go calculate it ull find its 1300mph
