Cool. My son graduated from the Naval Academy almost 20 years ago, and I have always been very proud of him. I love watching the precision of these jets, the pilots, and the ground crew.
Ah jet noise. The sound of freedom on display. Both groups are CLASS ACTS and I love em both. Men and women like these groups along with ground crews and thousands of ancillary staff keep us free. That goes for all branches of United States military. A heartfelt thanks to all❤❤❤
Wow, this is one of the best airshow videos that I have ever seen, Spencer! Your tracking is exceptional, and your editing is outstanding! I can only imagine how many airshows must have been required to be able to anticipate the action as well as you do! Please, keep on with what you've become so great at doing! ~Tim Huebel / Columbia, South Carolina
As always, wonderful work Spencer!!! In aviation videos, I'm ALWAYS looking for your name...I know it's going to be the best! (and if you don't mind me saying it-I'm also looking for "AIRSHOW" videos... you both are the best in my mind). Once again-I love your work!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You've given so many of us so much joy!
I would like to know how close do the planes actually get to each other because it looks like they could shake hands. So much talent and I appreciate their service to our country.
I was talking to a retired Air Force pilot the other day and asked if he had heard the Navy justification saying "three fourths of the earth is covered by water." Of course, he had. I suggested the next time he heard that he could counter with "And ALL of the earth's surface is covered by air." He had never thought of that and said he can't wait to use it..
More importantly Landing a on a pitching deck with only a 1,000 feet of runway is not like landing on 10,000 feet of runway on terra firma ! if we are checking who has the largest one's I'd say Navy pilots win that argument 7 days a week and twice on Sundays !
US Navy pilots will tell you landing on the deck of and aircraft carrier is the most dangerous thing the do and the only thing more dangerous is landing on an Aircraft Carrier at NIGHT !
@@charlesimwold1429 I know of one who agreed. It was the late Harald Bauer who retired as a U.S. Navy pilot at the rank of Commander. When he was told he would need to qualify on carriers, he said "no thank you." Actually, as he tells it, he said "auf Wiedersehen". He had been a very young pilot in the GERMAN air force in WWII ferrying Heinkel HE162 fighter jets. He was shot down. Long story short, after the war the U.S. Army recruited him, and he then moved to the U.S. Navy. What is most interesting is that long after the war he was at a reunion of veterans talking about how was shot down and wounded in a certain area in Germany. Another fellow said, "You couldn't have been there, we were in control of that area at that time." He answered, "What makes you think I was on your side." It turned out he had finally met up with the American pilot who shot him down. If you want to hear him tell his fascinating story himself, it is on UA-cam here: ua-cam.com/video/xmJqjx9VVKM/v-deo.html I became aware of him when asked to play bugle at his Military Funeral Honors.
When transition is made to the F35/F22, the displays are going to off the charts. Imagine Static diamonds, deltas, opposings, echelon rolls, burner 270s etc are going to be phoenominal. Absolutely devastatingly beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤
If you don't mind. Could you explain which team is upgrading their jets and approximately when. Chicago gets alternating teams each year and I believe it's Blue Angeles this year.
You aren't gonna see a transition any time soon. I'd love to see the F-22 or F-35 but it would be WAY too expensive. The Thunderbirds will continue using the F-16 for a while.
Thought I'd add another comment...I used to live close enough (San Fernando Valley) to go to Pt Mugu airshows. Always loved them (among other things, I miss the black Phantom...) One of the pluses of course, was the moisture in the air that made for some awesome condensation effects!!! I'm so glad for growing up there when I did (I was 18 in 1968). Got to see so many wonderful things including SR-71 takeoffs from Palmdale AFB facility-including the takeoff around 4:30 am when it did the speed run to Washington DC. I walked a bit from where we parked (a renowned spot to watch SR takeoffs from that facility) so that I was looking right down the runway-with binoculars of course-as it took off headed right towards me, and the view was AWESOME. I also got to see the XB-70 fly a few times at Edwards AFB, including one day two friends and I managed to get to about 200 yards or so on the west side of the main runway to watch a takeoff (we weren't supposed to be there...but this was in the days when Edwards was an "open" base and you could drive around quite a bit) and then managed to be in line with the main, when it came back in to land (over our heads) later in the day along with the T-38 and B-58 chase aircraft. I sure miss those days we spent driving around areas of the base seeing what we could see. I have some nice slides (remember those?) including one shot of a SR-71 and a YF-12 on a ramp area and the YF-12 had the nose section open exposing the radome. My favorite though is a sideview of "Snoopy 2" I think-(a Snoopy image as nose art)- a well known B-58 chase aircraft that among other things did chase for the XB-70 and had an interesting modification-a nose from the YF-12 (I think) when it was used to test their radar. Last, I'll add another nice part of where I lived then...It was near enough to Van Nuys airport which had a Lockheed facility that did rehab work, among other things, on the U-2's. And we were under the downwind leg of the pattern so whenever I heard their wonderful unique engine sound, I'd run out with my binos and watch if I was quick enough. Sometimes I'd just hang out on the railroad tracks, which ran perpendicular to the runways at Van Nuys, and watch aircraft on final, including the occasional U-2 and C-97 (ex B-29). Ahhh...those were the days....
Don't let the rivalry fool you! My childhood memories include post show hangar BBQs with both teams. Actual quote from my T-bird Dad... "Hey Navy! If you drop a hot dog on our pretty white floor we're gonna hand you a mop and you can show us how well you can swap a deck!" Dad always said that the only difference between the teams was the paint on the planes. ❤ #ThunderbirdDaughter
Take note , the Thunderbird pilots are putting on G Suits before entering the cockpit ! Now watch as Blue Angles pilots enter their cockpits . Notice any difference ? I do , no G Suits !
The reason the Blues don’t use G suits is because the stick is in the middle on the F-18, where an inflatable G-suit may possibly bump the stick while the diamond is in formation. The Thunderbirds F-16 stick is on the side.
I'm all about it as long as every member of the team is the best. Selected for their skill and not their skin color. I have no reason to think they aren't. Go Blue's
Notice how crisp and precise the Blues are, and the T-bird pilots can't even march in sync? Oh, and the Blues don't wear G-suits because their formations are so tight, they can't afford to have it inflating and possibly moving their arm, which would cause a collision. Credit to all, they are the best of the best, but Navy pilots are just better.
UA-cam places ads on all their videos now. I have UA-cam premium which is about $12 a month and I get no ads when I watch videos. “Worth it” in my opinion.
So cool to see my nephew (Thunderbird No 6) mount up. Will see him and the team in Cocoa Beach in a couple of weekends.
Cool. My son graduated from the Naval Academy almost 20 years ago, and I have always been very proud of him. I love watching the precision of these jets, the pilots, and the ground crew.

Awesome! I was stationed at NAWS Pt. Mugu 1991-1995. I practically lived in the weight room on base.
Love You !!! You are te Best!!!From Romania!!! Andrei! Timișoara
Awesome flying.
Beautiful machines.
Ive never been to an air show that included both the blue angels AND the thunder birds!!!
A show for the ages!
Really well done, especially capturing the maintenance team and their precision.
Perfect formation!!
Excellent footage. Nicely done.
Thunderbirds & Blue Angels were great! I'm good at shooting videos. I was glad that it included a walkdown and narration. thank you.
😎👍🏻
As always you always capture the best Airshow footage!
These, are the best of the best
Absolutely magnificent❤
Point Mugu!! My home in the early months of 1964!!😀
It’s Gorgeous and amazing Show god bless all off them.
Absolutely loved it thank you so much for sharing this video so Incredible someday I would love to go to one of the Air Shows

For some maneuvers it is as close as 18 inches. I know. Hard to believe.
Exactly what i wanted to know!
18 inches

The weather was less than ideal; however the demos & videoography was top notch.
♥️♥️♥️✌️👊
Just great
Awesome video! At 26:17 is that called a cobra maneuver?
Blue Angels the best. FLY NAVY!!
I love the blue angels the thunderbirds are second plce
how cool that BOTH teams were there for the same show!!
I do not get impressed easily, however this was amazing choreography from the start. I commend these pilots
Lief spannend....✓✓✓
What’s the puff of white at 5.48 please?
Go on you guys, punch a hole in the sky!!
Like 4x8 feet apart in alignment fucking awesome
Wow. Double Splendid.

Just like back in El Centro
Great airshow.
Great show love the Thunderbirds.

asif a falling hd would ever reach the deck,,,
The condo I work for is less than a mile from Sherman field on PNAS. Get a show everytime the Blues practice
Stay safe 🙏
Wow....
U in everything sepa
..I wanna say I'm not biased but I think the Blues had a more engaging show...
Nice 👍🫡
looks amazing but you skipped the part where the diamond does the half cuban eight
in a pinch, how does a pilot get into a F- 16 without it having an internal ladder?
Crew chief assembles and disassembles the external ladder.
Why is the Thunderbird number 5 upside down on the aircraft?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is is just me, or are these routines very very similar
Yes the Thunder Birds copied the Blue Angels
Navy wings are made of gold, T-birds - never mind

Blue boss is TALL!
At 15:30, the lone USMC team in the Blue Angels was smooth as f*ck with that marching movement. The rest of the Navy Blue Angels were meh!
Out of all the jets the F16 is the best looking by far maybe other than the F22
เครื่องบินตระกูลFเป็นสมาชิก
All pilots were fined for
speeding.😉
As a vet who was stationed at three Naval air bases, all I can say is I hate the sound of jets or helicoptors.
Thunderbirds or Blue Angels?
🫡💙😇 🙌🏻👏🏻🛩️ 🇺🇸
The Thunderturds. 😂😂😂😂
This is a kindergarten greetings from RUSSIA
That march to the aircraft was horrible. Sloppy. The Blue Angels are WAY tighter and crisp.. @0:25 they are not even in step... what the hell?
Yea, I saw that too. I am retired Air Force and that disappoints me. But, typical AF marching.
I was there
ALİ AKYÜZ
The very be👹st too! 🐈🐾🐾😼 (OMG😱!:))) an 😇ngel.. (in some angles:))).😅
Psst. Kind of "Exposive" in His attacks🐾🐾😼! 😂🫂
Take note , the Thunderbird pilots are putting on G Suits before entering the cockpit ! Now watch as Blue Angles pilots enter their cockpits . Notice any difference ? I do , no G Suits !
Pulling as much as 9 Gs is what most fighter wouldn't want to do without G Suits !
The reason the Blues don’t use G suits is because the stick is in the middle on the F-18, where an inflatable G-suit may possibly bump the stick while the diamond is in formation. The Thunderbirds F-16 stick is on the side.
Hmmmm...stick position aside... maybe it's because the T-birds can fly faster and higher than the Angels!!😂 #ThunderbirdDaughter
8 f16 thunderbird f18 blue angels we need send me lunglei farm veng we place here
For me gratis me preve ....
Maybe the reason, because in plane 5 there is a female pilot and not a male pilot
Good lord. Can someone PLEASE teach the Airforce how to march? Pathetic!
Diversity on display with the blue team.
Facts!!!!!
I'm all about it as long as every member of the team is the best. Selected for their skill and not their skin color. I have no reason to think they aren't. Go Blue's
And the birds. With the fabulous Woman pilot ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@GeorgeJansen the thunderbirds have a pilot that identifies as a woman too.
