    From a very old EX Navy Enlisted AF3. I watched the Blues in 1954 at Moffett Field flying F9F2-Panthers just before they switched to the F9F-8 Cougars. I was released to inactive duty a month later. Go to Pensacola as often as possible, to the Naval Aviation Museum, it changes just about every year! Try to keep abreast of all the Navy aircraft. Just an old Airedale at heart! Will turn 83 shortly

    • @PchanStitch
      @PchanStitch 8 лет назад

      Yes. A hero who somehow managed to forget to turn off his afterburners in a low-level nose dive according to the Navy's findings.

    • @jerrytahaviation
      @jerrytahaviation 8 лет назад

      +PchanStitch Really?! Shit...that's sad...no technical problem? That the afterburner couldn't be turned off?

    • @nicholasmorris3924
      @nicholasmorris3924 8 лет назад

      Yep, that's the Navy's finding. Kuss was mentally out of it. Forgot to sign for the jet, forgot to turn on his transponder, and though he called 'burner off', he forgot to take it out of burner. The jet was just fine.

This Nation needs Heroes like you to show all of us character. Your selfless act and courage, well, all of this Nation needs to follow your lead. Thank you again Sir, Rest in Peace and know you will always be in our hearts.

    @Ty05031 8 лет назад +7

    Don't get me wrong, I love the Blue Angels but for as long as I've been going to airshows, (ever since I was born so technically 15 years), they have done the same routine year in and year out. I wonder why after so long they haven't switched it up or added something new, like I said I'm not bagging on the Blue Angels, because they are the best in the business, but I wish they did something new.

    • @spencerhughes2255
      @spencerhughes2255  8 лет назад +1

      They did change at least one thing up this year, on the high Alpha pass, both solos go into the vertical now, instead of one going straight and the other going into the vertical.

    • @MrBen527

      +Keenan Yannibelli Well and the Navy is working on getting them Super Hornets in the coming years. So hopefully with a new jet, we'll get a new show.

    • @adrianbaffigo822
      @adrianbaffigo822 8 лет назад +3

      +Keenan Yannibelli My belief is that they don't change it due to the Navy and Marine non-changing tactics. The Blue Angels were made to demonstrate these current military flight tactics to the public. If there is no change in the military, then there is no change in the Blue Angels.

      @simav8r 8 лет назад +1

      +Shane Thompson If one of the wingmen sees that he's not in the correct position relative to Boss, he'll turn his smoke off to show #4 (the safety/training pilot) and ground observers that he's out of position.

    Good grief, what is with the team this year? I've been a fan for twenty years now and this is some of the worst formation flying I've ever seen out of the team this year. The line abreast loops are especially painful to watch, they're going everywhere on them. I could understand that early in winter training, but by the time show season has started? They usually have it down by now.

      Well, maybe they should have minded some criticism considering the Navy's report more or less stated Kuss forgot to turn his afterburners off in a dive (among other things) and smashed into the ground.

  • @ianturner2229
    @ianturner2229 7 лет назад +1

    I have been watching this video with great interest, BUT SADLY, I am so disappointed by the so called CLOSE CALL opposite direction clashes. They really are pathetic ! The aircraft may perhaps appear to be close when passing each other, to the ground viewers, although I think that even that is unlikely,
    It is more than obvious from the video that these aircraft are almost 200 yards apart in horizontal separation on the so called "close passes".. These are less dangerous than parking a truck basically, the Blue Angels rely on the customer vision angles to make the appear dangerously close, but the truth is shown in the video, they are both both miles apart horizontally, so it is all just a play on optical recognition by the viewers that lets the Blue Angels claim they pass so close to each other that a cigarette paper doesn't divide them physically???.
    It really is mostly Smoke and Mirrors unfortunately. The Blue Angels just do NOT FLY as accurately as they would like you (the US Tax payers) to think that they actually fly...
    If you bother to watch any video (if available) of the RAF Red Arrows doing that same Opposite pass, you will quickly see that they are both within a very feet of each other both horizontally and vertically when the classic "contra pass" occurs, as it really should be.
