Thank you. We have been going to Blue Angels airshows twice a year for the past 30 years. Would loved to have seen this in person.

Nothing like the sound of a pack of hornets flying over head faster than the speed of sound. Great photo @wdwmagic.

Here's a really cool shot from the Melbourne Air Show website from the flyover this morning. This is the shot I would have loved to get my own version of.

And I just found my new background photo. WOW

I saw them fly past my condo over Lake Burden around 9:45. Very impressive flying in formation, but was surprised they were not louder given there were 6 of them.

I remember working on day in 2004, walking up towards the hub. Out of nowhere a Marine Corp Harrier (A/V 8-B) streaked overhead, south to north, around 500-1000 feet. I assume it was heading towards the Navy Bomb Range in Lake County. Startled me and the guests around me.

We did a Navy shoot at the NAS in Lemoore, CA and a few of the pilots were training for the airshow's ... We were right on the flight line ... I have never been so distracted in my life. One of the coolest things the F-18 Super Hornet can do is the tail stand.

I use to live on Commercial Bvld. across from Lockhart when I was a wee lad. Talk about seeing a lot of The Blue Angels =)

last airshow i attended the BA's were there instead of the TB's, but the real showstopper(since i live in a AFB town) was the flight demonstration of the F22. that thing did stalls and stunts that i have never seen over RAFB before... and i have seen some junk with the test pilots checking out repaired F15's...

That is the beauty of thrust vectoring.

That is the beauty of thrust vectoring.

Victor Basta: Request vector, over.

Captain Oveur: What?

Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.

Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.

Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!

Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.

Tower voice: Over.

Captain Oveur: Roger.

Roger Murdock: Huh?

These guys are Navy, it hits home - my Dad was a pilot in the Army Air Corp at the end of WW2 and my Hubz is Air Natl Guard - hence, this stuff always gives me chills and great pride. Thanks for posting. Made my night.
