Blue Angels Reviews: YAWN!!! 2007-03-27 - I live in El Centro, the winter training grounds of the Blue Angels. I have watched them train from January through March for a good many years. People who buy this DVD are probably expecting to see 45 minutes of air show. Instead, you hear a mumbling narrative by John Travolta which is very much a history of naval aviation, and too little flying. The lead pilot, or "Boss" is assigned by the Pentagon, and this video does not point out that the "Boss" of this team was removed because of safety violations. The other pilots didn't want to fly with him.
The best Blue Angels video I have seen is "Blue Angels: Xtreme Close-Up" which aired on the Military Channel. It is pure flying. If you want lots of air show mixed with interesting behind the scenes then I recommend Blue Angels: A Year In The Life. Just don't buy this one unless you want to fall asleep.
JETS: ALTITUDE & ATTTYDEM VOL 4 BLUE ANGELS 2006-07-05 - EXCELLENT PIECE OF WORK. AS ALWAYS WHEN THE BLUE ANGELS ARE PRESENTED IT IS WITH EXCELLECE. THANK YOU MR TRAVOTLA FOR YOU WONDERFUL NARRATIVE.
