Flying tactical jets is something you can't imagine. This video is purely visual. Most of my flying was in heavy old navy twin engine aircraft. Lots of torque and slow response. My one ride in an A-4 was truly unforgettable. The seat-of-pants sensations are so smooth and precise. Jet cockpit sounds are soothe variable vibrations.

OK, given that knowledge, my respect for Blue Angel pilots is limitless. Inverted formations 10 feet off the deck!! Nerves of steel and trusty wingmen/women!! Hot stuff! Back in my day we all hung out together in P'Cola down a Trader John's or Dirty Joe's on the beach. Glad we survived.
