Blue Angels: Inside the cockpit.

1080 full screen is impressive

I'm guessing they were buzzing around Seattle area, it looks like the floating bridges of Mercer Island in a few of the frames.

They spend the winter out here in El Centro. I watch them practice pretty often. Supposedly ( viewable from google earth ) they have a giant cock and balls painted on the roof of the building on the base there.

Pretty impressive.LOTS of hours training.
My impression of them is that they are a bunch of egotisticle douche bags. When I was stationed at the Opa Locka Airport in Miami they had the South Florida Air Show where the Blue Angles were to perform.This was the mid 80's mind you so their egos may be in check now.A few days before they were to arrive a member of the ground team came to our base to see where they were going to park the planes.This guy comes into maint control barking orders at everyone that our planes on the ramp HAD to be moved . He was politely told that the 2 planes that were on the ramp are "ready" aircraft and they weren't going anywhere.Well he didn't like it that he wasn't getting his way and demanded to see our CO. Once our Captian got there this guy went of again with all his demands. Our CO listened to his demands and then told him to get the hell off his base. Ended up having to escort him off. Luckily when the calll was made to the District Commander he knew what had happened and backed our CO. The BLue Angles had to park in the middle of the runways on a taxiway for the airshow.
The pilots had special decals on the side of their rentals cars.Big letters "Blue Angles pilot" and then their name.Around the resturaunts and bars at night they wore their blue "dress'" flight suits complete with a gold ascot. Their egos were out of control listening to them talk. Of course the women were all over them.

That made me think of the bar scene from TOP GUN when I read that.
