The US Navy Blue Angels are famous for scaring their audience! Part of the show is distracting the audience to watch a certain maneuver as another Blue Angle aircraft sneaks up on everyone coming the other direction at a VERY low altitude and at a VERY high rate of speed! The Famous Blue Angels Sneak Pass!
Nothing better than watching some fast jets flying low on a Saturday evening. Enjoy!
If you have a story about being at one of these Blue Angel shows comment below and share it with us! Were you scared?

The Blue Angels perform more than 70 shows at 34 different locations throughout the country each year. by U.S. Navy photo by PhotographerUs Mate 2nd Class Ryan Courtade [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons

They were practicing in Va Beach before an air show. I forgot that fact and on the way home from work heading down 264 one of them came screaming over. I jerked my head so fast that my neck hurt for a couple days.
