I believe the sign at 1:20 is him giving the bird, when all the papers falls on to the cockpit, the #6 pilot said, "nice yard sale." the opposing solo saw it all.
@tomcatpilot13 wouldnt he be flipping himself off then seeing how he used his left hand? ever think of that.. that sign he did was telling the opposing solo man that they're at show center...
r u retarded or blind. how can the opposing solo see the sign wen his above him he cant see it. and they dont need signs becuz they use something called a radio during ther performance.
@tomcatpilot13 they use a combination of signs... there is no guarantee that radios wont go out in mid flight.. Number 6 is always watching number 5 when in combined solo routines like reflection passes.. its a safety precaution.. if you don't believe me next time you see them at a airshow ask them yourself
@tomcatpilot13 Im not saying your wrong buddy.. Im just saying it could be other things like a hand sign.. btw if your trying to get at the idea of the other plane is above him.. hes above him for a split second before he moves at his level.. both pilots have a clear line of sight of one another
@Crayola076 when he flashes the "sign" the other pilot cant see it because his not flying level with him ...you can tell by the smoke which is clearly not level with his. this is the reflection pass btw so they have no view of each other
@tomcatpilot13 apparently you didnt read my entire comment.. i didnt say you were wrong.. he could well be flipping him off.. im just saying consider the alternatives.. signs are made when in the reflection pass.. just because the smoke is above doesnt mean that distance between both aircraft isnt far enough for one pilot to still be able to see the canopy.. as for this subject im done with it.. post whatever reply you want..
@tomcatpilot13 oh btw now that i think about it.. if the one pilot flipped him off... why did he do it.. its not like the guy can see the mess on his canopy.. or the bird to begin with.. you see the giant hole in your accusation?
Its blatantly obvious that he's giving him the bird and Im fairly sure he wouldn't be doin it unless #6 could see him... don't hurt yourselves trying to think too hard
@tomcatpilot13 Yea i know but also notice the thumb is extended also creating a backward L because he and the other solo ( number 6) are performing the calypso pass where number 5 flies inverted and six flies normally and as they pass show center they appear to be right over each other
@blueagle84 so ur saying u never seen someone give the bird while ther thumb is extended? and if ur saying its a sign..who is he showing it to? #6 cant see it becuz #5 is inverted

The lapbelt scene at the end on the other hand is a new problem. It looks funny when the lapbelt came undone but a military pilot from Canada crashed his jet not long ago when the same thing happened during a training flight. An investigation has shown that the Lap Belt used in both the F-16 and the Canadian CT-114 is failing due to problems with the latch assembly. Canada has since grounded the aircraft until the problem is solved.
Thats just common FOD in the cockpit, although it is more than normal. I think the pilot just noticed it and flicked that off because the pilots cannot see each other in that maneuver.
Ummm thats not common, common fod are screws etc, small stuff, all those papers are practical jokes, there is even a MAXI PAD in one shot, yes thats dangerous, but these pilots know their buddies fly with composure and dont get rattled too easy.
I dunno about the thunderbirds but the blue angels do NOT wear G-Suits becasue the inflation of the suit could move their wrist and cause them to screw up and they fly at such tight tollerences that they can not afford to have any movement. Part of their requirements for acceptance are withstanding max G's without a G-Suit, they get tested twice a year on it.
United States Air Force Thunderbirds wear blue g-suits.
That is what I found about the Thunderbirds, that was from the last two years (2007-2008) All I know about is the Air Force because that is what I'll be doing real soon, and I don't waste my time learning about the other services!! (jokingly of course :D)
F18's also have a center stick; the pilots rest their forearm on their thigh to stabilize their control inputs. Every time the g-suit inflates it would cause unwanted control inputs. control sticks on F-16s are on the right side, so g-suits are not a problem
I love this video... during the McChord AFB Air Expo in July of this year I captured a couple of shots of debris on the canopy during the inverted passes by the #5 pilot that made me think of this video. :)
The T-birds (like the Blue Angels) have two solo pilots who do opposing passes as well as some "unique" formation passes. This is done while the Diamond formation sets up for their passes.

Thanks and Godbless.
The F-16's a superior airshow jet to the A-model Hornet, based on acceleration and turn rate. It's too bad the Thunderbirds don't take advantage of the fact.
Ughhhhhh. In airshow history, the Thunderbirds have had 17 accidents either with a solo or multiple aircraft. The Angels have had 6 and the Thunderbirds were activated 7 years AFTER the Angels. I find that rather embarrasing for the AF that the NAVY had a demo squadron before them, and any other armed service branch for that matter. The AF did have the Acrojets before the Thunderbirds, but they still came 3 years after the Angels too.
Get your facts straight. Both teams have suffered losses, but considering each team has flown between 4-5,000 air shows to date and some 15-20,000 practice shows, both teams have a really good safety record.
During its history 26 Blue Angels pilots have been killed in air show or training accidents (8 of them during shows).
20 Thunderbird pilots have perished in jet accidents during air shows and training (2 of them during shows).
The Angels' formations are tighter than the T-Birds' and the Angels push their planes to the limit every time they go up, taking their planes to the breaking point and back. The T-Birds hardly push their planes that far. The Angels have more airshow routines than the Thunderbirds and the Angels also are the only team with a C-130 I think. The Angels can also convert their jets to be combat ready (switch parts, repaint, and test) in 3 days.
It's funny how the Mig 25 & Mig 29 look a lot like the F-15 and F- 18. The Russian ATOL sidewinder is a cheap copy of the American Aim 9 sidewinder. Need I say more.
well u better make sure that u are straped in tighter before u take off

The F-16's a superior airshow jet to the A-model Hornet, based on acceleration and turn rate. It's too bad the Thunderbirds don't take advantage of the fact.

yes it does, being in the Angels

LMAO- Now thats funny, As I recall a year ago they lost a jet and well know pilot,in a live exhibition/show.
Now if you ask me thats no better and or not even in the same league as the T-birds but thats just my 2-cents.
ColdSteel1911 4 years ago
Ughhhhhh. In airshow history, the Thunderbirds have had 17 accidents either with a solo or multiple aircraft. The Angels have had 6 and the Thunderbirds were activated 7 years AFTER the Angels. I find that rather embarrasing for the AF that the NAVY had a demo squadron before them, and any other armed service branch for that matter. The AF did have the Acrojets before the Thunderbirds, but they still came 3 years after the Angels too.
ElPresidente101 4 years ago
Get your facts straight. Both teams have suffered losses, but considering each team has flown between 4-5,000 air shows to date and some 15-20,000 practice shows, both teams have a really good safety record.
During its history 26 Blue Angels pilots have been killed in air show or training accidents (8 of them during shows).
20 Thunderbird pilots have perished in jet accidents during air shows and training (2 of them during shows).

The Angels' formations are tighter than the T-Birds' and the Angels push their planes to the limit every time they go up, taking their planes to the breaking point and back. The T-Birds hardly push their planes that far. The Angels have more airshow routines than the Thunderbirds and the Angels also are the only team with a C-130 I think. The Angels can also convert their jets to be combat ready (switch parts, repaint, and test) in 3 days.
ElPresidente101 4 years ago
Yeah man no doubt the angels are highly skilled at what they do, all military combat pilots are in there own unique way.
I just prefer the lawn-dart over the F/A,and both platforms has there pluses and minuses.
Honestly the Navy probably has the best damn pilots this world has ever seen...
-Thanks for your positive insight,my old man is a retired airmen thats also why I have a lot of love for the lawn-dart...

It's funny how the Mig 25 & Mig 29 look a lot like the F-15 and F- 18. The Russian ATOL sidewinder is a cheap copy of the American Aim 9 sidewinder. Need I say more.
