Blue Angels Baercats

[Stearmen]

As some of you know, the second type of aircraft the Blue Angels flew was the Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat. This is a good video, with modern aerobatic team in Bearcats, and interviews with the original pilots! I always wished that I had seen them in their Bearcats!

That's a great video! Thanks for posting.
I find it funny that the original Blue Angels probably would never make todays team. They were hell raisers back in the day. The "old school" aviator doesn't exist in todays Navy. If they are there, they don't last long.
