Better to pass out, there are worse results. A few years ago, a Sports Illustrated staffer went up with the Angels, when he touched down, he was given the callsign "Two-Bag". Ouch!!!

That was awesome! I have been in a Pitts Stunt Plane and can tell you first hand the g's are incredible! I could only imagine the turns in that Hornet!

Man, what I would do to fly in a Blue Angel!!

It's almost worth going into journalism just for that slight possibility. :lol:

Every year different reporters get to go up with them.

I've always been curious how smooth (or not smooth) the ride is in a supersonic jet.
Judging by the clips it seemed pretty smooth.

Missed their last show here, near me, due to an older Saber digging in coming out of a flip too low to the deck. Out of respect they didn't take off.
