Blue Angels 1973

Now the Blue Angels in F4s..........
I saw them only once, at Hucknall in 1973. Very impressive display of close low-level formation flying, and the noise was deafening. Contrast the Red Arrows display immediately afterwards, and their much smaller and quieter Gnats didn't quite engage the spectators on this occasion. Many people were already leaving, seemingly unaware that the Reds were displaying!
