Since it's air show season


Recommended Posts

Great Video !!!!

I was able to watch the Blues train every Tuesday for about a year, they are just great !

In my opinion, their show is much better that the Thunderbirs, perfomance wise.

I remember watching the Blues at NAS Atlanta in the mid 80's when I was stationed there, and also before that at MCAS Beaufort in 76 I think when I was stationed at MCRD Parris Island. Still love the A-4! I met CDR Casey Jones (Blue Angel #1 back in '76) at Beaufort. As a relatively new sailor then, it was a great honor.

Hey Murph,

I'm dissapointed I won't make the WG show this weekend....family event superceeding it.

Take it easy,

Did I read that correctly: the BLUE ANGLES (listed on the clip)?! Reminds me of an old "Brownshoes in Action" comix. Yep, the Scooter (A-4) was a great performer...

THX for post Murph!

talk about memories, I remember the El Toro shows of yestayear, you'd always know it was Spring Showtime when they'd cruise over our school during practice.

A W E S O M E!

The scooter was a bad lil jetA The low level stuff is especially nice.

Everytime I see the Blues (and airshows in general, actually) it's like I become a 10 year old again; I have to stop myself from jumping up and down & cheering.

(Please somebody tell me I'm not the only one like that....)
