Blue Angels at San Francisco Fleet Week

Not helicopter but absolutely awesome flying. Just scroll down on the link to the later pics. (Actually some nice pics of a USCG Dolphin doing a demo as well). Copy the links as I don't know how to link directly.

Thank you 902 for the very good pictures,

I saw the Blue Angels at Doncaster (Yorkshire)Air Show way back in the Late 80's early 90's they were extremely good and so close to the ground that when the single sneak fly by occurred we could feel the air in our lungs vibrating due to the nearness of the shockwave.

Also at the same show we saw the Woca CH47 do a stupendous act of Rocking bacwards and forwards from Vertical backwards to Vertical Forwards with a Loadie strapped to the ramp with a safety harness but yet floating and staying with the A/c, the gearbox noise and blades fighting the air made awsomes sounds, a very good show.
