i'd hit it

Talk about people that must have better then perfect vision.

the dude taking the pics......shouldn't he be flying the PLANE or something?

The camera is Mounted :glugglug

Bad Ass!:thumbsup

thats some bas ass flying ... wonder if they ever rub against each other ?

After they've done flying?
Probably.

I haven't seen them but have heard it is a great show.

Its amazing... I lived in Seattle and every year they do a show for Seafair. It is truly amazing what skills these guys have.

why did I know I'd get a response like this :1orglaugh

damn, that is some real good shots

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:thumbsup

wow - that are some awesome shoots.

nice......:thumbsup

Great pics :thumbsup

That is too cool , those guys must have balls the size of church bells lol

Great pics... :thumbsup

Incredible!:eek2

very nice:thumbsup

Killer Pics, you have any more?

I have a video of them, but not clear pics like these!

They choreograph every move perfectly to a beat if you've ever heard the audio as the flight leader calls out each movement.

Its like a dance routine.

1 2 3 turn 1 2 3 dip 1 2 3 right 123 left

If one pilot loses the beat thats when shit goes wrong..

The reflection in the plane is very cool.

Whoa, bad ass. Nice snap shots.

I saw then as well as the Thunder Birds when I was a kid.

But the one thing that I will never forget is watching an F16 fly by the stands at Mach 1 100feet off the ground, while at the some time another f16 flew by at 2 or 3 miles per hour above stall speed, which I think is like 95knts.

The guy in the stall was nose up and very fucking high, and then a blur goes by, and then BOOM.

I was like 13 and almost pissed my pants.

Wish they'd do a show out here on the eastcoast...I'd love to see them.


btw, those pictures are amazing!:glugglug :thumbsup

those are cool

I remember seeing both of these groups at different air shows also.

Are the Tbirds still around? The Angels seem to get most of the news around here - even when they blow us off like at Fleet Week this year.

that's killer - look how close they are - shit - cool:thumbsup

Saw them when I was a kid.

A couple months ago an old buddy of mine called me and invited me over to watch the fights.

We were talking about what we had been doing over the last few years, and I mentioned the stunt plane ride that Steve Lightspeed had set me up with at Internext 2003 in Vegas.

It turns out that one of the guys there is married to the gal that sets up all the Blue Angel shows, and he put me on the phone with her.

Long story short, they do a show every March in El Centro and she told me all I have to do is show up and I will get a ride with one of them.

I guess they have an auction at every show, and people get on for like $50 because people are afraid to go with them. Not me. I will die a happy man if it were to happen.

That's insane.. I knew they got close but I would never have imagined they got that close. I can't wait till the air show here in Daytona now that I'm living here. The Blue Angels and all the other planes in the show fly right down the beach lower than the high rises.

That's fricken awesome. Thanks for the pics.

snowbirds kick ass:

...and yes...this is our national defence!

please don't attack right now, we're not quite ready yet.

They were here two years ago at the Abbotsford Airshow (those in BC will know it). They flew past my condo so low I could see the pilot turning his head looking for the other Angels. Pretty fucking crazy.

wow :thumbsup

just looking at that picture makes my stomach flip:thumbsup

That would make your stomach rise. I recon sometimes they must rub cause thats some extreme close flying.

Wow...amazing pics. Who's up for joining the Mile High Club on that flight?:1orglaugh

That's sick Krosh.

Amazing pics:thumbsup

Wow, nice pics :thumbsup Those guys fly damns close

Not only that but they perform every routine with their hands before they even get in a plane. and they do it before every show.

Seeing these guys as a kid and even shaking one of their hands is one of my clearest childhood memories.

damn, these guys are good !!

sweet pics

OMG...it's awesome!

if you sneezed, boom.

Fucking awesome shots. Thanks for starting my day off right.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Wow! Great pictures!

And yes, the Thunderbirds are still flying :)
