The home boys (TXANG 147th) before they got their F-4s.

And with the Electric Jet.

As far as I know they are now a drone outfit. No details.

Couple from the files. Shot these before the focus problems with this lens rendered it useless.

The Blue *Angels! Awesome, I saw their show while I was in Chicago. May I ask what lens you were using?

I think you meant "Blue Angels" LOL. This was at their home field at Pensacola NAS. When they're home they have practice times every week open to the public. Great show.

The lens was a Sigma 100-300. Even though these are heavy crops the sharpness isn't as good as it should be. Since then it has gotten worse.

Lol woops. And nice! How did you get that angle? Or were they turned towards the ground?

I had a really tall ladder

No I'm not sure about their performances in other locations but I'm assuming they have certain height restrictions. At NAS the field is right on the gulf so they are flying so low they almost touch the ground. I was standing in an open area between a hanger and the bleachers when one snuck in from behind me. The jet blast actually knocked some people over. I managed to stay on my feet but scared the crap out of me. As he passed over he pulled straight up and kicked in the afterburner. You could literally feel it in the bones.
