That was frickin' EPIC!

Did anybody else get a lump or two in the throat while watching our boys doing their thing?

Sound worked great for me.

Make sure you haven't inadvertently muted your sound on your computer. Also check to make sure the Volume slide on the video itself isn't in the "mute/off" position.

     One of the constant "us vs. them" trash talking thing between the two teams is the fact that the Thunderbirds wear G-suits, and the Blue Angels don't. If you watch some of the cockpit video that is out there of a Blue Angel pilot while flying, they are sort of crouched up, right next to the stick and at times have both hands on the stick. Their rational for operating like this is that with G-suits inflating and deflating all the time, it would adversely affect the precise movement of the stick. They work on and practice the "hook"  maneuver of tightening their abdomen and diaphragm while saying and holding on the tail end of the word "hook" to keep too much blood from flowing out of their head and graying out or blacking out during high G maneuvers. flying any of those birds to the extent of their limits is definitely a young man's game!
