MCDONNELL DOUGLAS FA-18 HORNET —
Submitted 2 months ago
This thing was so low (25-50 feet?) at the end of the runway, it scattered
dozens of people, knocking some down, scattering coolers, chairs, hats, tripods
with camera's on it. The shock wave, heat, and sound blew everyone away
wondering WTF just happend! It was pure adrenaline. blew everyone and everything
away, like the building in Top Gun II. So Effin Awesome!

Definitely Favorite Pic of Mine this Week........
Experienced a Blue Angels pass like that in Duluth, MN but in the era of film.

Wow nice shot! That would have been challenging to frame and focus well if the
subject was flying relatively slowly, but it sounds like he was most definitely
NOT!

@Roland..well, I went to google earth and measured the distance, it is 1000'
foot straight from the end of the runway to where we were all standing..of
course it took a mere two seconds or so for the F-18 to travese that distance in
full afterburner..! maybe less!

John, I hate to pick nits in comments under such a spectacular picture, but your
comments are a bit hyperbolic. Above, 1000ft in 2 seconds is 300knts, which is
fittingly the Blue Angel's usual max for "show-center over spectators" (over
spectators btw means within 200 yards of any spectator). So, NO AB. Even if your
Angel had "only" "hit AB" crossing the end of the runway, velocity overhead
would have been 400knts+/-. At that speed with an aircraft that heavy (more than
two fully loaded tractor-trailer rigs), that low, would have produced injuries:
bruises, contusions, some impact hemorrhaging and a few 1st & 2nd-degree burns.
But mostly the picture. After-burner lit would produce a distinctive exhaust
plume not seen in you pic.
The rest of the description is bang on. The wingspan is almost 50 feet so his
altitude would seem not a lot more than that depending on the lens used...
Brutal as it was you did get a fabulous shot!
