Wow, that is impressive!  Just think how neat it would be to get all the aircraft the Blue Angels flew in a formation.  :O

Here is the plane the Blue Angels wanted out of after only 6 demonstrations.

Gear is brought forward for takeoff and plane raked very nose up because they had trouble lifting the nose and takeoff speeds were far too high without these features.

Very dangerous plane to fly.

The blue angels are my favorite because they flew the bearcat. Bad assery at its finest.
