I think I need a barf bag. My head is spinning after watching this footage of the Blue Angels, the Navy’s ridiculously precise stunt pilot team. No, I’m not talking about another home movie of the fliers, shot from an air show. This raw video is taken from inside a Blue Angel cockpit, as the jets scream through the air. Personally, it’s as close as I ever want to get from stepping inside one of those planes. Closer, actually.

Unbelievable amount of talent those guys have. The complete loop with every plane staying in a perfect line was incredible. Thanks for posting that.

Great VIDEO!!! Beautiful views...wow! Also-while at the video site I watched a couple of the videos of the people in Iran in the streets protesting the election...it was so massive I was shocked!!!!
The people were so upset!
Worthy of a thread here on FR.
