Just been sent this YouTube of the Blue Angels by a non-flying friend, with a query as to why they flew some of the sequences with the gear down ?
Dunno - who does ?
Thanks.

They flew alongside the BA747 i was travelling on last week as we landed at San Francisco.Very different experience seeing a display team from the air.

No problem, ExSp33db1rd. Thanks for the reply.

They were in San Francisco for Fleet Week - was a good free display in the bay with a good selection of A/C doing the rounds.
Mrs 622 let me take a day out of our hols to watch :ok:
