Went to an air show as a young kid and I’ll never forget the solo coming in from behind. By the time you hear the sound and realize what’s happened he’s already in another zip code

I just happen to live down the road from pensacola NAS. The blues buzz my house all the time. Never gets old.

Just went to a Blue Angels show yesterday, knowing that there was gonna be a sneak pass at some point. Unfortunately, It happened just when I was trying to get up to fix my chair, sucker flew right over me and almost gave me a heart attack.

Went to the air show at McGuire AFB few years back. Awesome display. Spent 7 yrs in the Marines, it never gets old. Never. Two tours at MCAS El Toro, 3rd MAW. Gotta love those F4’s too

The Blue Angels are just the best! I saw them and this trick at Austin-Straubel Airfield when I was a boy. Great gimmick. The one plane flying close to the ground is beating the speed of sound so you don't even know it is there until it is right over head on the way past. The pilots in the sky are a beautiful distraction during that moment. Awesome! America's heros. Knights of the air.

"Alright, nice and slow guys-"
"READY OR NOT HERE I COME"
"DAMMIT CARL"

Yes!!!! That bird really help set that up! I bet they were shaking for a while! I love that power! Hahaha

[grmreaper]

that was right over head I am surprised they did that. That is one of my favorite parts of the performance, the sneak attack they do. just all around great performance from the Blue Angels, the Thunderbirds, just damn proud to be an American!

[twmijjit]

I'm pretty sure that bird had pooped his pants.

[ryanlee]

That's awesome, even that bird was like "holy s*** what was that"

[skymedic]

Maverick, never ever leave your wingman!!

Went to my first airshow about 25 years ago and will never forget the sneak attack. The rest of the show I was looking for the solo plane and what he was doing.

Blue Angel #5 is cleared down to 50 feet for the sneak pass, so it was right around 50 feet from the deck.

The first time I saw the Blue Angels was probably in the late 50s at Moffett Field. Been a fan ever since.

I took my son to the Chicagi Air Show in about 1984-85. We saw a B-52 and fighters. He is now designing aircraft for Boeing. The show impressed him.

Blue Angels Airshows never will get old.

Chicago used to be the best place ever, the restaurants, shops and museums….no garbage in the streets. I could never figure out why anyone would want to go to NYC. And yes, I’ve been to both. Went into NYC often as we lived in Connecticut. That was the 80’s and in the 90’s Lived just outside of Chicago. We went there more often than we did NYC. It was far better

About 10 years ago, I lived on Nellis AFB and could watch the Thunderbirds from my yard. All year long they would practice their show routine sometimes twice a day during air sho season. I had people tell me it would get old hearing that noise after a few months ... no way, it was still an awesome sight even the day we left after being there 4 years.
