Not at the table Karlos Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Got a call from a friend that was at the air base. Said mcdermott just went up with the angels. I look out my window and they flew by. Love seeing the Blue Angels.

Fun to watch. 1
Wacka Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Blue Angels are going a show over Late Erie this weekend.

Most of the time it's just the refueling or cargo planes but when the fighter jets come out it's a real treat. We sit in the pool and watch the air show 1
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) This would be an interesting exercise under some of the previous organizational hierarchies. * "Meh. That all it does?" * "I'll just wear this Clemson helmet. Will my brother fit?" * "Where else would I rather be than right here right now?!" * "Whoo-whee!" * "Does the Navy still have WAVES?" * "People are not meant to pull 6Gs. This was Nix's idea."

TroutDog Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Love that he did that and the respect he clearly shared with the BA team. I tried desperately to get a shoot and recovery off of my carrier…alas, never got it. Glad McD got the chance to have this experience: he’ll never forget it.
scuba guy Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Tks for posting That was awesome Mcd is one cool dude very relaxed up there 1

These VIP things they do with Blue Angel 7 are pretty calm events, but still a nice way to spend an hour on a beautiful afternoon. You can clearly see his anxiety at the beginning, and his pleasure having done so at the end. 2

The Wiz Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 I'm curious if mcd passed out on that last maneuver where he said almost 7gs. Just the fact the pilot is talking while they are doing 4gs and mcd had that grimace on his face is crazy to think about the training they must go through. 1 1
