Yes ! I'm the first to give a reaction, THX.

I'm glad to say that I was very lucky to get the chance to see the Blue Angels just a week ago.
They where flying there display here in Holland at Leeuwarden Airbase on Friday 16 & Saturday June 17 2006, the only display outside the USA this year !
It was many years ago that they flew there display in the dutch skies.
For what I read about it, they didn't fly the F18's at that time.
So I think I was very lucky to be able to watch them this time.
I went to the show from 'schiphol airport' near Amsterdam with the DC3 Dakota from the Dutch Dakota Association ( DDA ) off which I am a member for lots of years now.
So I made a nice entrance myself if I may say so, ( And didn't have to there by car getting in traffic jam ), infront of the total croud of 135.000 people on the saturday !
The Blue Angels had the honor to do there show as the final one on the Royal Dutch Airforce " Open Days Airshow " which the have each year at one off our airbases in Holland.
I have to say that it was the best !
Very nice rocket take off by Fat Albert !
I expected violent F18 manouvres, but that was not what the Blue Angles had in mind...
A beautiful, gracious show just like shown in your exellent movie !!!

Must have been lots and lots of editing work.
I saw very nice shots and very nice angle camera work.
Great job done Kato !
I hope you will make more of these high quality movies for us !

S! Kato

Yes I saw The Virtual Blue Angels Chris "BeachAV8R" Frishmuth interviews at SimHO.com also. Nice interview.
These guys practice about 4 hours a day, five days a week, but wish they could do so much more!! WoW!!

Let me tell you...all that hard work shows in this video!!

Some great flying and teamwork for sure and like WFAlbertsma has already mention lots of long hours in front of computer doing all the video editing/sound work!!

Thanks for sharing this great piece of work!


Best Regards

Amazing video!! Very very exciting and energetic! Probably one of the best I have ever seen.

Keep up the great work, it was awesome to watch you all in action!
I spent most of the movie, wide-eyed and with my mouth open saying "OMG!"

Loved every second of it, as well as loved the transition from actual to sim to actual. Just amazing what you guys have accomplished!
Congratulations.

Great great movie!! I've seen the real BA also at Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. For as far as I can see, your manouvres really match the real thing, great job!!

Little question: I'm looking for a list of all the manouvres the BA perform, but can't find it anywhere on the internet. Maybe you guys have something like that (and want to share it)?

[Edit]
Never mind, found the manouvres on your forum now...
