Thanks, Arlo, that was nice.

For me, all the Blue Angel planes after the F11F have looked...gross...sort of....

But that's nice film, particularly the second half.

Thanks for sharing......

Only thing wrong is the Blue Angels started their roots in the Hellcat F6f-5 and their were only 3 members on the initial team when they formed at NAS Jacksonville

Funny how the video shows the F6f-5 and one of the original 3 even spoke of how they came to be

Whoever titled the video should have not included the "return to their roots", since they mainly talk about todays Blue Angel pilots checking out the F8f Bearcat......

Funny  thing about my posting this, seems like I made the same post back in the late 90's on Gamestorm AirWarrior messageboards,heh
