Blue Angels are the best in the world, undoubtedly! Saw them for the second time up at NAS Brunswick, ME earlier this summer... absolutely nuts; they put on a great show, even if you're not a fan of planes, you can't help but be motivated by these guys. Fun fact: Blue Angels pilots fly WITHOUT a G-suit (G-suit= a specialized suit that inflates with air and compresses blood from your legs up to your head so that you don't pass out, all fighter pilots wear 'em). Blue Angels pilots do NOT wear them because they fly so close to each other in formation (no less than 18 inches wing tip of one plane to canopy of the next) that a slight inflation of the g-suit can cause a jerk in the stick, meaning two planes crash into each other and go down. That's badass.

aaaannnddd watching people pass out is funny as hell.

good post.

If it's the video I'm thinking of, the pilot was from Pittsfield MA and was recently killed during a demonstration.

good call. I didn't even bother to check the info on the pilot.

I believe Lt. Cmd. Davis flew the #6 (single-seat) plane during shows, which is the plane he crashed in during a practice in SC. The plane showed in this video is the #7 two-seater.
