    pretty cool, I really enjoy watching aircraft take-off. to be honest, though, it doesn't compare to being on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier during flight-ops or recovery. B)

    My cousin works at Barnes ANG. He has some great videos of those F-15s taking off. I much prefer the F-15s we have there now compared to the old A-10s that used to be stationed there.

    Is there more than one team?
    The Blue Angles are supposed to be flying over New Orleans today 5/6/2020.

    I believe F-15 jets from the 104th Fighter Wing will be over Boston today, not the Blue Angels nor the Thunderbirds.

    I think I seen them in KC while I was driving thru, several years ago. They were practicing for an air show on Saturday. Don't believe these were the blue angels or the thunderbirds.

    Blue Angels (Navy) are F/A-18s, and Thunderbirds (Air Force) are F-16s. Other areas are having local squadrons conduct fly-overs. Seattle has two C-17s flying over the area on Friday from a base just south of the city.

    A lot of nice 'Eagles' posted here.

    We are scheduled to have a fly over in my area as well. I suspect this is a nationwide thing.

    When the Super Bowl was hosted at the Levis Stadium, the Blue Angels appeared in formation three different times over my house. The last time they did that, I happened to be outside, and they swooped down to less than 1000 feet!

    While you saw the F-15s, I saw my favourite modern USAF CAS aircrafts - 2 A-10 Warthogs flew over the house a while ago. The plane itself is rather ungainly and ugly but that GAU-8 30mm Gatling gun is one of the best weapons a soldier on the ground has. Curiously I have gotten to yack with the pilots a few months ago.
