The Blue Angels are fun to watch. When I was stationed in El Centro, I got to watch them for 5 weeks each winter getting ready for their season. The Sneak pass is the best part of the show. They have the crowd watching one do a low pass while the other is setting up for a pass from behind the crowd. Once you know it's going to happen, watching the crowd's reaction is great:

I also got the chance to fly on Fat Albert a couple times on a JATO launch. Absolutely the best ride I have ever been on!

I really want to see the Blue Angels, the stuff they do it just awesome. I've seen a few shows on tv about the Blue Angels but I've never seen them in person. Someday hopefully.

We don't have the airshow here in Muskegon any longer , but when they did ,we hosted the Blue Angel's twice . Each year they would fly an F-14 . There were times we were in the jet wash they were flying so low . They had Fat Albert here also ,& every so often , the Harrier jump jet ..

Maybe the F-4 Phantom II??????????
I remember when they flew the F-4 Phantom II, then the A-4 Skyhawk, then the F/A-18 Hornet (maybe Super Hornet, now???).

I think he meant that there was an F-14 at the airshow, not as part of the Blue Angels.
From the website (Blue Angels : Official Website), "The decision to transition to the Super Hornet has yet to be determined." They've been flying the F/A-18 since November,1986.

Check out #3 Holy Crap!!!! Wow.
I've seen the blue angles 3 times and yes the sneak attack scared the crap out of everybody in the crowd. (the third show I was watching for it and seen the setup)

Got buzzed twice by a F-16 on a lonely stretch of Eastern Oregon 2 lane black top......I figure he was cruising just under the sound barrier about 150 ft off the deck while he was using me for "target practice"..............What a rush!...No way I would even think about lodging a complaint with USAF authorities.
