RARE Blue Angels Cockpit Video with Comms | 1997 San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show

Go inside the cockpit of a Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet as the Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron performs an air show over San Francisco as part of the Bay Area's annual Fleet Week festivities. Ride along with former Blue Angels Commanding Officer, George "Boss" Dom, as the Blues takes off from Oakland International Airport before performing a 45 minute demonstration above iconic San Francisco landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf and Coit Tower. Listen carefully to the cockpit communication broadcast between the pilots and the specialized voice cadence leveraged by Boss Dom to guide the Blues as they fly just 18 inches apart from one another.
