#1 & #3 Blue Angels make contact w/each other

From Pensacola News Journal:
“The No. 3 canopy made momentary contact with the underside of No. 1's outer wing during the Diamond 360 maneuver," Tucker said. She said there were no injuries. Capt. Eric Doyle, the Blue Angel's commanding officer, flies the No. 1 jet. Doyle called a safety stand down after the planes made contact.
Replaced both planes, show goes on in Chicago as scheduled. Pucker factor was probably pretty high.

They need Tom Cruise to show 'em how it's done

I've never seen a BA show with my own eyes. Only videos and pictures. However, we were in Ft Lauderdale in April and 2 of them cruised down the coast super close. It was the most red blooded American thing I've ever seen. People everywhere were standing up on the beach, around hotel pools, balconies, and screaming and cheering. It gave me chills. Merica

Growing up in Colorado Springs I saw them a couple times in the 80's. Impressive site to see.

Of course the 3's gonna be involved... Black flag him, give him a stop and go, an' tell him to report to the hauler after the race.

An initial damage assessment of the aircraft found a "minimal scratch" on the No. 3 canopy, she said.
Meh, nvm. That'll buff out.

Saw them again in Oklahoma City back in June, one hell of a show! I'd like to go to NAS Pensacola and watch them practice.

Swapping paint happens when you’re flying paint
