This footage is of the "slot man" in the Diamond formation, from the passenger seat. This was shot over Lake Washington and it looks like at practice prior to Sea Fair Festival. I use to work in an office on the south end of Lake Washington with a window pointing north and we could see them when they flew low level right over the building. Very cool stuff. Enjoy!

The Blue Angels are the AWESOME! We get the Angels every other year with the Thunderbirds on the off year. The B.A. are better than the Thunderbirds. During practice, they fly directly over my house. I have a shot of one jet upside down, so close that I could have waved to the pilot. Probably 500 feet up.

Hard to believe how relaxed the guy looked. Except when pulling all those "G's". Then he looked constipated. Very constipated. :lol: I believe I'd just as soon watch from the ground. I enjoy flying but not that much.

We get to see the T Birds when we go to Las Vegas NASCAR since Nellis is right across the street from the track. They usually do the fly over before the race.

My wife and I toured the Navel Air Museum when we visited there. A must see if anyone reading this is ever in the area. I learned more about US warfare history there than any class I ever took!
