Great video! Thanks! Ali and Alex, you can learn more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_angels. Usually those demonstration pilots (stunt seems a little bit too 'kenivel') are the best in their field. Check out this interview as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf8glYDFNpc Woah! Great video! Thanks!

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:10:07 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/?p=24852#comment-1796257 @ Alex Thanks Alex! From what I understand (loosely) about stunt pilots is that they begin most of the time as normal combat pilots but then after a few years of distinguished service get the chance to become stunt pilots after they have proven to have the ability to do such tight maneuvers. Theatrics in dogfights...I'm unsure unless they can be used to confuse and bamboozle the enemy. However, many combat pilots learn tactics that allow them to come up behind the enemy or to prevent the enemy from coming up behind them. So, in essence this maneuvers maybe just for show...or not. I would love to hear testimony from a pilot though! :) @ Alex

I wonder if stunt pilots make good combat pilots ... does theatrics like that matter in an aerial dogfight? Very cool – great find, Ali.

They are here this weekend and I can't get down to the airbase to see them, thanks for making it a little easier to get my dare-devil fix. And being able to showing my son whats really going on. We saw them a few years ago, but i don't think he really understood it all then. Brilliant footage.
