is that a Maloof rocker in the background?

An Officer & a Gentleman!! ❤❤❤

Well, I just found my favorite channel

This is the low break cross when all 4 pilots go out on separate lines and then come back and cross Centerpoint at the same time one of my favorite maneuvers.

Small world! I work for Boss Dom!

Legacy hornets were flown until 2022 at topgun

That is very interesting because in the recent interview with The Fighter Pilot Podcast, Capt. Gil Rud (that was the Blue Angels Boss during the transition from the A-4 to the F/A-18A) said that the Hornet they got were old airframes (pre-production IIRC) that where not carrier qualified

Thank you for having the Boss on the show. I loved the movie. I've been a Blue Angel fan since I was stationed in Pensacola at Corry Station, which is weird since I was in Air Force.

It blows my mind that the Blues still have Tailhooks... Tailhooks are a huge liability for the PC's & Ordies launching & catching... And they weigh over 250 pounds... I was always under the impression that the Gun and Tailhook was tossed out for Aerodynamic purposes...empty that gun weighs over 400 pounds (ask me how I know)... Guess I was wrong 😳

All fighter jets are cool! ‘59-‘78 grew up an AF Brat! ‘78-‘98 gone CG, RDC, Retired! The F-4 Phantom is still my Favorite 🤩 ❤ Plane!

Since when did the diamond consist of only 3 jets? Number 4 is missing from the formation? Actually # 4 is missing from several maneuvers?

#4

The first time I saw the Blue Angels I really knew nothing about them and wasn't too excited to see them.....then Fat Albert took off using JATO. I almost lost my mind!!! Have been hooked ever since. Miss those JATOs!!!

Nice! Simply for PR, you'd think the Navy would try to make this a standard thing following Change of Command. If for no other reason, because they can. Given Marketing and PR expenditures, this would be a real investment because of what's required and the personnel involved; Patch Worthy! Once every four years is spaced out enough to make it a very big deal each time it takes place, for all involved.

My daughter will be joining the 2025 maintenance and support team for Blue Angels

There is a video and I’ve seen it but it was a while ago and I have no idea where I saw it. But I know 100% I’ve seen it

So why are the Blue Angels always in FAD 1 then if they get the oldest jets?

My daughter just made the 2025 maintenance and support team for Blue Angels

I loved listening to this and the other interviews also with everyone else you've done. I got to gladly see them in Vidalia Ga this year and it was the best experience in the world. Got to meet 'Boss' and Amanda Lee would've loved to meet everyone but amazing team, amazing what they do!

Greg is just an outstanding guy. I meet him at TYS show. He was just awesome to talk to. He is just very open and easy to talk with. Thanks Greg for your time. And yes they put on a great show.

Nov. 1998, I was onboard the USS John C Stennis, CVN-74, We JUST changed homeports from Norfolk, VA, which we started our 1st Maiden Voyage Around the World Cruise, left around Feb. 1998, & Arrived in San Diego, CA, Coronado Island, NASNI Aug. 1998 ...

Awesome video of this story.

Back in my single days I would go to airshows with tailhook low flybys

My daughter just made the support and maintenance team for the Blue Angles

Remember. Trump has a Fatima on him. (What are they. A sort of a reward for his demize) If he ever visits youre town and you witness an unusual amount of fightr jets in youre town...keep the faith. As the presenter here says.."its good to be here"

Ill bet uppon appreach he had performed a barrel roll. One way of another.

Bush landed on an aircraft carrier. He might not have been flying the craft.. he was reading the maps. He probably had a damn good idea where Osama Bin Laden was also.

Theres a thought. Often times at night. Often times in rough seas. Airplanes are inherently light. Especially returning home. Don't try this at home folks. Sounds like some hairy shit.

Just how, exactly, are they supposed to bring an aircraft carrier to an airshow? Or seat up bleachers for the crowd in the ocean? 🤔🙄🤦

I might be mistaken, but I thought you had to be on the team for a few years before you became the Boss, but this guy came from the fleet right in to the Boss spot? Can someone set me straight?

All US military bases have cables or barricades for emergency landings. Air Force Jets are also equipped with tailhooks (except the Warthog I believe) to trap in case of emergencies

Alaskan, #Arcticthunder

So, are they getting F35C's going forward?

Have you checked with Blue Angels Public Information officer or Harry Truman's?

Id have been a Pilot with the Blue Angels in 1998 but I was only 17 😂

Fly safe Angels ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Even AF jets can "take the cable" at AF bases, for reasons like the ones you listed.

I will say that the situation is the same as the 707 barrel roll done once and then banned the failure or destruction of the plane would be very bad publicity for the Navy and the Blue Angels

Is it not true,, that these pilots keep their gnatchies in a copper box as to make sure they do not hurt others?

Great story. Thanks so much for sharing. Off Topic: is that an original Sam Maloof chair in the background... A fantastic piece of art.

Still waiting for a Thunderbird carrier landing.😅

Stop the press! A US Navy plane lands on an aircraft carrier! Who'd ever think that could happen?

Cool video, looks like a Maloof chair, very cool😊

Not sure if it was said, but the Blue Angel Team was first formed during President Truman’s presidency.

My dad had an international job and we were living in Amman, Jordan in the late 70s. The Blue Angels flew over our school (they did a lot of overseas good will tours, at least back then). It wasn't a regular school day it was maybe the 4th of July or something because I remember a country fair atmosphere, all the kids and all the parents were there, barbecues and games, then the Blue Angels roared by, did a couple of rolls and loops, released some smoke. Everyone was clapping and laughing and half an hour later the pilots were at the barbecue, still in their flight suits, chatting with people and ruffling our hair and we kids went mad! The british Red Arrows did it too once. The pilots were much more reserved when they visited, they changed into field uniforms, they didn't mingle as freely and of course they flew less sleek looking planes (to a 10 year old. I think they flew Hawker Hawks, tubby little training jets that were fantastically manoeverable but didn't look like much while the Angels flew decomissioned fighters). Anyway the kids were all team Blue Angels after that.

Blue Angels should had been terminated back when the the Navy terminated all NON COMBAT COMMANDS. Each jet cost usax payers $21,288 to fly per hour,. No talking about the C130 and all ground crew are a lot more.

Enjoyed this video very much. It was very informative and educational. I thank you for sharing this amazing fact about THE BLUE ANGELS!!! I certainly hope that you find the video that you are searching for. Thanks again.

Did you Service or are you a Wanabee military?

I'm not 100% sure about this but I've heard from many people that carrier aircraft have a limited amount of "traps" and the birds the Angels fly and many adversary and marine squadrons are "trapped out"

@aerospacehorizons Can you (or anyone else here) help me out about the Hornet aircraft type? You stated that the Blue Angels flew the F18 Hornet from 19084 tot 2020, but this is what I get from Wikipedia: McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet (F/A-18B as #7): November 1986 - 2010 Boeing F/A-18A/C (B/D as #7) Hornet: 2010-2020 Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet (F/A-18F as #7): 2020- Are the first two regarded as the same airplane and the third as a completely different type? Thanks!
