This is an old video I found on VHS. I had edited it exactly to the Blues version from the era. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary.
Still love how the Talons looked like superfast quiet sharks!
Enjoy...

I'm a little confused about what you said above. Did you mean to say the Blue Angels were celebrating their 40th anniversary when the Van Halen video, "Dreams", featuring the A-4 Skyhawks came out on MTV (1946-1986)?
(The Thunderbirds began flying the F-16A models in 1983 for their 30th anniversary and the Talons were retired in 1982 after the horrible "Diamond Crash" during the Thunderbirds' 29th season).
Thanks for sharing the video! Some great vintage footage.
P.S. I embedded your Vimeo video in the forums.

My memory on this was a little foggy. I guess it was the Blues' 40th anniversary.
Their video had the A4 Skyhawks in it.
So I'm sure you had this right. I created this in 1986 and yes, by then the F16s had seen several seasons.
Heck, over twenty years ago, and I've slept since then!!! Know what I mean?
