Some habits die hard, as evidenced by this former Blue Angel pilot who headed back to the fleet:VIDEO

I have seen this fly by before but never thought, the Hornet was flown by a former Blue Angel pilot.

Same counts for me Sawamura, but if you think about it, it's quite obvious.

Guess he must have flown slot.
I really want to try and find the video I posted here a while ago of the sneak pass at Oceana 2002 with a Tomcat and Hornet about 1mph from mach 1, but it was deleted off YouTube... I just wish I was there to see it in person.
