Whoa, that was a yellow suit? What have they done!

Naahh the blues are still the blues. Pretty good video, I can't believe that guy pulled 9 somthing.

All (well most of them) of the media hops the T-Birds do add a member to the 9G club.
The suit is something the Blues wore back in the 70s & 80's, and they decided to pick it up again for some reason. I just think its ugly.

Cool Video.

The Blue Angels sometimes wear the yellow suit when they are over a Large body of water, incase they eject. Thats why the Blue Angels wear the yellow suits at Seattle.

Different seeing #7 and not #8 on that media flight with the T-birds

Well, I've seen them with the yellow suit on when they werent even near water, so I dont think it could be that my friend. Believe me, they have plenty of stuff in their survival kit so rescuers can find them.

They wear them on Sundays, water or not.

Hey I live in Seattle and went to Seafair this year. They were in the normal suits! Not sure what you guys are talking about...

Was this a Saturday shot or a Sunday shot?

Saturday, Rhino.

Ok. I found out why they have the yellow suit. They pulled them back from a while back for the 60th Anniversery.

These flights were in Atlantic City where both the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels performed on the same day. Was a great show..

Wow I'd pay lotsa money for a poster like that scking. Two of my favorite teams, right next to each other. What a wonderful picture.
