Couple of clips of a guy getting a ride with the Blue Angels. The pass outs are spectacular!

Why is it that numpties like that get to go for a ride with the Blue Angels but all us lady-killin' Chuck-Yeager-like Skygods can only dream about it? :confused:
Next life I'm coming back as a journalist :suspect:

Yeah, why not me - the pilot in those clips was Lt (later LCdr) Kevin Davis who was killed during a display in South Carolina in 2007.
Now on the subject of numpties, check out the guy at the end of this clip (the first 2 mins are pretty cool too)

get the numpties to join the US Navy, not to give fighter wannabees a hard on. If you can offer them a bunch good press or the lead on the local news in exchange for a ride, then you will get your wish Chuck.

obviously not a strict FOD policy in operation there, drop a pen lid in the Hornet and its U/S.
