"Nice shooting of one of my favorite subjects. The T-birds top them only
because I was an Air Force Brat! If you ever get to Pensacola, the Navy
Museum has a static display that shows just how close these guys are flying
to each other. It's not good flying, it's terrific flying. Thanks for
sharing.  Glad you included Baby Huey too. His JATO takeoffs are
spectacular."

Thanks for your comments! 
I heard the announcer say that on some of their maneuvers the Blue Angels'
wing separation is 5 feet (might have been 3 but my hearing wasn't that
good). 
I saw Fat Albert do a couple of near 45 degree climbs without JATO,
unfortunately out of my range.
