I have flown with them virtually in X-Plane 11

Be careful Kingfish.

If you go down the Aviation Geek rabbit hole you may end up disturbing your ignorant peanut gallery with Soviet Aviation History and expert analysis of airline crash reports.

But I wouldn't consider that a bad thing.

We lived in Meridian, and when we bought our house, we looked at one, and when we went into the room the owner used for an office, there was a Blue Angel Helmet on a side table and a Ble Angel squadron plaque on the wall. The guy was ana instructor at NASM. I always told people we lived under their Jet Pilot training field. If a person was a naval jet aviator, the chances were really good they got their training in Meridian, MS. Lots of Blue Angles got their training in Meridian. Lived there 10 years and I think there were two crashes in those years. None in my back yard.

Thanks KF!

This is your tax money hard at work. Too bad you can’t afford that life saving surgery, but at least some inebriated football fans get to watch highly trained pilots parade around in their multi million dollar planes with fuel bills higher than the average retirement savings accounts. Wonder where everyone from the food stamp article’s comment section is?

@11:42
Soviets did the same shit. So does the PRC, ROK, ROC, Etc.
Btw Nancy, Bennie, Bernie, and Chuck Schumer are multimillionaires. Chuck and Nancy are closing in on the Billionaire’s club thanks to money wasted on failed green energy boondoggles.

9:29, cool story. I have family there. They all say the reason the training program is in meridian is for just what you mentioned….if there’s a crash there’s nothing really there to mess up.

@ 11:42 It's a recruiting tool for the navy. Always has been. It's money well spent. You sound jealous

@ 1:28 the base was built in Meridian because of the power of John C. Stennis.

@11:42 I’d rather my tax dollars be wasted on this and 1-ply lighthouse for the blind TP than bleeding heart liberal scams.

1:28 - I think you are right - to a point. As I remember, Sonny Montgomery was a key force behind the naval aviator training program at NASM - I am 100% certain he is the reason why it was still there by the time they reduced the training sites to only two.

Those guys are great warriors.

Folks know those who fly Airforce jets likely were trained at Colombus AFB, probably for the same reason

Why so liberals hate the people who defend this country so much?
They have been this way for as long as I can remember.

My brother was in training do he an angel but his eye sight washed him out.

12:59, thanks for owning the loser liberal by overloading one of his two surviving brain cells.

Its a shame he's too stupid to know he's stupid.

Probably just mad he hocked his EBT card for 25 cents on the dollar and is going to end up eating at the Dollar Tree rest of the month instead of Mickey "D's"!

Some of you may not know this, but the blue angels don’t defend the country. As stated on their website, their purpose is to inspire good feelings:

“ Around the country, the team serves as ambassadors of goodwill by bringing naval aviation to men, women, and children across America. The precision flight demonstrations showcase the professionalism, excellence and teamwork found in all Navy and Marine Corps units, as well as provide the thrill and magic of flight to people each year.”

It’s weird how the “conservatives” are all for liberally spending tax money on their feelings. You guys are soft as a Trump brat at a champagne brunch and as conservative as a Trump brat at a golden chandelier trunk show.

Well 9:31 you should STFU on talking about stuff you know nothing about.....
The pilots in the Blue Angels are only assigned there for a period of two years, then they transfer back to the fleet where they came from.

Pretty sure most of them are "combat veterans" from being assigned to Naval & Marine Corps aviation units.

It's weird how the "liberals/Dim-O-Krats are all for liberally spending tax money on their feelings. You've been buy votes since the 60's and now have stepped up that program to buying the votes of all the illegals you are so keen on letting into the country. What was it Dementia Joe wanted to do, pay 'em cause they broke the law by sneaking into the country and they were separated from their spawn.

You don't even want to go there considering the "Wreck America Even More" package that has Pelosi's subway to nowhere hidden in it....

You people are just brain dead or outright stupid or related to AOC to go along with it and even make stupid comments about "Trump brat at a champagne brunch and as conservative as a Trump brat at a golden chandelier trunk show."

@11:36 - it’s right on the home page of the blue angels, but like you say, maybe they don’t know what their own purpose is. It’s to do air shows and make people feel good about the military. Sorry you can’t handle the truth or your own hypocrisy towards tax money spending. Keep blaming Nancy and some unsubstantiated criminal conspiracy about voting if it makes you feel better, but you are only fooling yourself.

Correction: My bro washed out of jets ...due to eyesight but still makes a nice living flying jumbos. GO NAVY

12:23, everyone knows you're the typical liberal liar, that got called out and now has to back pedal....

Sure is funny there is more money floating around when Republican are in charge. Also kinda funny some intelligent Democrats aren't buying the BS that sleepy Joe is trying to push and won't vote for it, not to mention all the Dim-O-Krats jumping off the train before the train wreck happens midterm.

You're the ones living in denial, sort of like all the Dim-O-Krats who were on TV blaming the new Governor of VA for the I-95 fiasco, till a reporter pointed out that he hasn't been sworn into office yet.....yea keep lying to yourself snowflake. Never mind how ole Joe put thousands of people out of work his first week in office, not to mention single handily driving up gas and fuel oil prices. The truth is, you know that every time Dim-O-Krats get in trouble, they come up with another way to court the dregs of society. As far as your head is up your butt, you'd think you'd get tired of the smell.
