Cockpit video riding with the Blue Angels

This is the full cockpit video of the media hop I had with the Blue Angels in 1998 when they were preforming at the Miramar NAS Air Show. Pilot, Lt. Doug Verissamo, was a true professional!!!

It was a hell of a ride... I knew it was a once in a lifetime shot so I tried to get the most out of it.

This guy is funny ass hell. He is mistaking thrust for g's

[tvthunder]

Trust me Nate, I know the difference... When he kick's in the after burners it's thrust...

I just got to watch the Blue Angels for the first time. It was the one of the best things I've ever seen. I wish I could experience flying in one of those jets. Looks like you had a great time man!

Now that's what I call enjoying the moment! Compare that to the video of the guy who called an early RTB because he threw up lol.

@ tvthunder, do you remember the call signs of the pilots? How did it feel? Did you barf or get knocked out?

[lygersarereal]

@dragracer222 Oh yea definite.y The highest they did was 6 - 6.5 G's for 10 sec. The F18 can pul 8-9 G's.. Believe me, That guy will pass out at 8 or 9 for 10 sec.
