This is mind blowing, Incredible, and beautiful.Watching this on a 32inch 1080p in full screen mode. I take my hat off to these pilots. The concentration to pull this off time after time is off the charts.
My favorite part was seeing number 4 pulling it in tight after a nice turn to also help slow his speed, then with the help of the speed brake and pedal slide gets right back into the slot. (36:00) I don’t know how many times I rewound that part of the video. Love it!
MAGNIFICENT! An absolutely spectacular flight as viewed from the nose camera underneath the Blue Angels #1 Super Hornet! Almost 45 minutes of non-stop action-filled manouvers of the United States Navy's elite, precision flying team, and what a truly incredible video experience it is! My extreme gratitude to all of these well-trained pilots and personnel who comprise one of the most highly-respected and beloved aerobatic flight teams in the world: our BLUE ANGELS!!!
Very interesting event starting at 6:39. In preparation for the Diamond Dirty Loop (which is a loop performed with landing gear and tail hook down), Boss commands "Boards" at 6:39. (‘Board’ is the navy pilots' term for the air brake, which extends up from the fuselage between the twin tails. The team uses boards to slow down to 250 knots, which is the max speed at which landing gear can be lowered.) It takes only 1 second for the boards on #2 and #3 to extend partially and stop moving, and then at 6:43 their boards continue extending to the full position by 6:44, and remain fully extended until at least 7:05 (when the landing gear is lowered). But watch carefully the board on #4 (the slot pilot, directly behind the camera aircraft). Instead of starting to extend at 6:39 like the others, #4’s board doesn’t start extending until 6:41. At that time it extends only partially and then retracts back down completely by 6:43 (while the others' boards remain extended). At 6:46 #4's board begins extending again, but by this time #4 is moving forward in the formation (due to not slowing as much as the others) and has to drop down from the formation to maintain safe clearance from Boss (the camera aircraft). At 6:48, you can see #3 pilot’s head turn further to his right as he notices #4 *way* out of position. In response, #3 immediately maneuvers laterally to his left, giving #4 more space. #2’s head also turned as he noticed #4 out of position, and he maneuvered a bit higher, but not laterally like #3. By 6:55, #4 has undoubtedly already reported his situation to the team, because #2 and #3 start maneuvering back to their normal positions. #4 is now slowing more than the others, which results in him dropping back quite a bit from formation by 7:05, when Boss commands "Gear down" (for the dirty loop). #4 doesn’t return to his normal position until about 7:23. What does this all mean? Mechanical issue? Pilot error? Heck if I know. I only started looking at this closer because I saw #3 suddenly maneuver laterally out of formation for no apparent reason.
Wow. Just think of the energy these pilots use just to focus..that alone would be crushing. No wonder they have to be in tip top shape. Bravo..what outstanding flying
Such a great view. Thank you for sharing. It would have been even better if we had Boss' communications as he called out the maneuvers as well. But I'll take what I can get and watch these awesome pilots do things most people can only dream of. And they GET PAID FOR IT!!!!! 🙂
Great perspective. They fly with GoPros all the time… a full forward looking view would be awesome just so we could see the rejoins and how much rudder work there is. Thanks for posting. Love this channel Dave
I lived in the Marina just off the green for over 20 years so I estimate , including practice days which started on Thursday, I must’ve seen the Blue Angels fly/perform close to or over 100 times. Each was spectacularly exciting👍👍 I think I’ve seen it commented that fleet week San Francisco is their favorite airshow to fly; as no other city can compete with the beauty of the San Francisco Bay.
I'm only 2 minutes into this, but already I can say this is the finest formation flying video I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot. Watching the control surfaces was particularly interesting and seeing how the rear plane sideslips was amazing. Like all formation teams, they are amazingly talented, but this serves to highlight just how amazing!
Watching the transition from Diamond to Echelon Parade formation and back is insane! Seeing how they fit in to their slot while in the turn was amazing!
As a SF Bay Area native who has gone to SF Fleet week every year since 2008. I never knew how much airspace the Blue Angels used for their performance. They cover a very large area.
How do they maintain such perfect synchronicity?!?! it must take so much practice.. it's so scary to think about!!! I would never be able to do that! I have so much respect and admiration for these men
So mesmerizing to watch. I don't know that I remember seeing that dirty loop before. Loolks like some serious Gs at the bottom of that vertical break. Super impressive flying as always. Fly Navy!
As a civ, getting this perspective on all the micro-regroupings or tightening/loosening of the formation is incredible! Only been to 1 airshow and it was way better than any heavy metal concert! 🤘
AoA lights for the carrier LSO to observe while on final. They can see if the aircraft is on speed, slow, or fast and relay what the pilot needs to do to maintain glide slope to the deck.
Unbelievable footage 👍! But SF's most loyal companion - the fog! - was sure starting to build up, I am sure they were happy got get the show finished in time!
This always makes me listen to a song which is The Boys are Back In Town and let's not Forget the Girls. Pretty Awesome People. Really out there Unique Flying Skills On Display, Absolutely Brilliant.
Was this out of Moffett Field Mountain View, California which is very close to san fran? My dad was stationed there for years so as a kid we saw the blue angels every year. Go Navy!
James from. Columbus. Ohio and a US navy veteran. Blue. Angels my favorite team. I think any and all blue angels fans should your there hangar at nas pensacola
I've seen the Thunderbirds & Blue Angeles twice in Knoxville Tennessee. They must put restrictions on them in Knoxville because you can see them breaking the speed of sound at shows over water.
F-18 Hornets, Alcatraz, Beautiful San Francisco - I just feel like I woke up as Nicholas Cage waving 2 flares with a huge adrenaline injection in my heart and my girlfriend is the Prom Queen ❤
I was so sorry for your lossless your pilots you guys it’s a family of heroes this take time for me I love you guys but I do this now both of my heart 💙🗽 my name is Ludvig I am true big fan U.S. Air Force Picture of you guys big are power of blue angels 🇸🇪🫡🇺🇸💙🗽
I haven't watched it yet. But I can tell you it's not real just a couple of planes dragging mirrors behind them. Until they invite me up for a ride. I’m sticking with that story.

I've watched that part over and over
It's so amazing, it's unbelievable! I've never watched these videos before and I'm starting to be obsessed already haha😅
This is really spectacular!!! Absolutely love this perspective of the performance! Thank you for posting!

Always so interesting how much bouncing around they do. Incredible footage 🤘
This is the best aviation video ever. I was in an ATP class with 3 hornet pilots, two weeks ago. Big time respect for Naval aviators. 👊👊👊
Wow. Just think of the energy these pilots use just to focus..that alone would be crushing. No wonder they have to be in tip top shape. Bravo..what outstanding flying
Awesome footage. I was there that weekend. Wish the audio from Boss Doyle was available to accompany the footage.
The Angels have ALWAYS been my favorite Aerobatics team. Love it! AWESOME VIDEO!
Thanks Ryan for posting! Shows how much ground they cover during the show.
My pleasure, Ken. The Double Farvel in this particular video blows my mind. Just unreal. Cheers!
Such a great view. Thank you for sharing. It would have been even better if we had Boss' communications as he called out the maneuvers as well. But I'll take what I can get and watch these awesome pilots do things most people can only dream of. And they GET PAID FOR IT!!!!! 🙂
Finally cockpit view of the Bay Area fleet week from the blue angels 😇 thank you ❤

Thanks, Dave! I’d love to see a forward facing camera as well. Especially on the Solos!
@@BlueAngelPhantoms That would be Groovy and Totally Tubular! B~}

This is fantastic!! The Blues always were and always will be my favorites😊
Thanks' for the ride alone ,great precise flying 😎
I've sailed out to 'the box' many times to watch the Blue Angels during Fleet Week. Always a proud treat!
I LOVE how #4 comes burnin in to rejoin after the 6 plane cross and hits the brakes to get in position perfectly.
It’s phenomenal precision for sure!
I rewatched that part five times! So cool! She nailed it 36:00
@@craigb4449 He. Major Jeff Mullins.
Not just the speed brake, but also a bit of crabbing left/right to bleed off that last bit of excess airspeed. Such deft control, I'm in awe.
These are truly the best of the best.
#FlyNavy ❤
Fantastic image!Glad for no songs.Just the real sound!
I appreciate there is no music, too, hard music often spoils so many videos !
On a 1-10 ‘Coolness Scale’, this is, at the very least, a 15! 🙌🏻
Believe it, your watching the best pilots in the world.
Outstanding formation flying ,and over such a fantastic backdrop. Wow. The #2-#3 planes seemed locked to the lead in the diamond formation.
As a SF Bay Area native who has gone to SF Fleet week every year since 2008. I never knew how much airspace the Blue Angels used for their performance. They cover a very large area.
They require a 5 mile radius around show center, among other requirements
That is a spectacular view. Thank you.
How do they maintain such perfect synchronicity?!?! it must take so much practice.. it's so scary to think about!!! I would never be able to do that! I have so much respect and admiration for these men
2:08pm. Amazing the skill of these pilots!!!!
Couldn’t agree more!
So mesmerizing to watch. I don't know that I remember seeing that dirty loop before. Loolks like some serious Gs at the bottom of that vertical break. Super impressive flying as always. Fly Navy!
Incredible view!!💙🇺🇸🙌 grateful to have a blue bird's view
Amazing views
This was an awesome perspective bar none !!!
Outstanding!!! ❤
The Shadows of the Jets over the water look so cool
This is insanely awesome!! What year team is this?
This is the 2019 Saturday demo over San Francisco. Glad you enjoyed it!
Never thought much about the team dealing with the boss's wake turbulence until now!
I was just thinking the same thing. That guy directly in trail of Boss is in a life and death struggle, lol.
Best show on planet Earth. Nothing else comes close.
FREAKING AWESOME!
So Incredible and Beautiful truly Amazing I absolutely loved this video thank you so much for sharing 👏🏽
Well done Blue Angels! 😮 BTW the SF Bay and through OAK view was incredible. ☝
As a civ, getting this perspective on all the micro-regroupings or tightening/loosening of the formation is incredible! Only been to 1 airshow and it was way better than any heavy metal concert! 🤘
Amazing thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it
24:30 You can see #3 giving a bootfull of left rudder on the rejoin to slip the jet and slow down. So cool.
Wow..completely understand now why these pilots need to be in good shape..the focus needed to fly alone to fly like this would be crushing…bravo
For a few moments, #2 & #3 wingtips are less than 6” apart. Awesome.
2:20 how are the wing tips so close??? crazy precise!!! there's a point here where the distance between tips is the size of a helmet!!!
Fantastic perspective, can anyone tell me what the three lights on the nose gear below the landing light. Thanks.
AoA lights for the carrier LSO to observe while on final. They can see if the aircraft is on speed, slow, or fast and relay what the pilot needs to do to maintain glide slope to the deck.
@@DevelDogg48 Thanks so much, I had no idea.
Unbelievable footage 👍! But SF's most loyal companion - the fog! - was sure starting to build up, I am sure they were happy got get the show finished in time!
Son los mejores del mundo no pierdo un video de ellos.
At 2:20 there's literally like a foot between 2 and 3 wing tips. Amazing precision.
the whole demo from the boss's undercarriage.....sweet
Those middle rails were slow close to touching at 2:22! Exciting.
stunning! 'MERICA!
Great footage! Is this footage the same as the new IMAX film about the Blue Angels to be released in May?
No, these are legacy hornets, so a few years older.
Beautiful 💙❤
San Fran fleet week is very cool. Unfortunately not as cool as Seattle. Thanks Ryan it’s fantastic.

Boats.
I've seen the Thunderbirds & Blue Angeles twice in Knoxville Tennessee. They must put restrictions on them in Knoxville because you can see them breaking the speed of sound at shows over water.
so cool
Much more interesting in 2x speed. ;)
The Blue Angels currently fly Super Hornet F-18 E&F. In this clip, they flew F/A-18C; how long ago was this?
This video is from 2019. More details available in the description.
Great pilots! ✈

"Naval aviators!"
"Ooh." 😊

Cast this one onto your big screen and enjoy 😊😁😊
It'll make you proud to be an American. While we still have an America...

I was born here in 63' and we grew up 7 miles away in SSF. It was awesome back then! It's a shit hole there now.
its crazy these guys walk back to their cars and drive home after doing this.
old video. they are flying the older model f18
The use of the airbrake is so sick. This is an awesome video!
Top Gun 3. Maverick joins the Blue Angels. Teaches them how to do a 4G negative inverted dive at 1 1/2 meter distance.😅
Almost looks real.
I haven't watched it yet. But I can tell you it's not real just a couple of planes dragging mirrors behind them. Until they invite me up for a ride. I’m sticking with that story.
These are the types of role models we need in the world. Not freaking Dylan Mulvaney types

Only thing differnt is a fancy paint job.
Old footage but that's ok
