That is a great video - specially at 1:44 when the aircraft goes inverted and the camera's perspective stays the same. My son is in the Coast Guard stationed on the cutter Active out of Port Angeles. They represented at Sea Fair this year and he said he watched the Blue Angels from the deck of the ship. Thanks for sharing.

We lived in Seattle for 32 years and for a number of those years worked in downtown high rises. During Seafair we could catch glimpses of the Blue Angels during their practice runs and even when we couldn’t see them, we could hear them! The I40 floating bridge over Lake Washington was always closed during their practice. This brought back many fond memories. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know how they have the confidence and trust in their fellow pilots to be able to fly like that!!! (What happens if one of them sneezes or something?😯) And the expression on the pilot's face was like "ho-hum out for a Sunday drive".

Practice, practice, practice....Very little talking going on....lead flies at a set power setting and the rest adjust accordingly. Its why they're the best of the fleet and the best of the best...

Very nice, but not something I would do.
Yes it is Jerry, is something a lot of people probably wouldn't do, it takes a special type that's why they're the best in the world.

This is a very interesting video and much different than so many of the B A videos. I loved that it shows them flying around the Seattle area. I had a chance to watch one of the practice sessions for our Sea Fair weekend early in August.
Thanks for posting the link.
