Blue Angels Precision Flying

Took these at Sun N Fun in 2019.

If you look closely, only the lead is looking forward. All 3 other pilots are looking at the wing, or fuselage, closest to them.

Some serious trust, skill, and nerves of steel.

And thank you for pointing out where they're all looking. I wouldn't have noticed that at all.

to my credit.

Technically perfect, perfect timing and perfect framing.

This kind of photography is demanding and you've done a great job of capturing a moment in time and the tension of the moment.

Blown away am I . . .

edit to add: This is not a safe profession. Looks good an polished but like cheer leading it can hurt you real bad and real fast.

No matter how much I enlarge the images, I can't see their faces at all! But I'll take your word for it.
