Virtual airshows

We've had many requests over the years for live, uncut, cockpit footage. Now, in full 1080p, you can "ride along" with the team during a live show. Watch as our Lead Solo, Beaker, flies the Delta portion of the flight demonstration at the Virtual-Aerobatics.com 1st Anniversary Airshow on February 16, 2014. This footage is a live screen-capture of Beaker's cockpit view, and includes the imperfections that challenge us on every flight. Want to learn more, or join the action?

FAQ:

Q: What simulator is this?
A: DCS: World with a custom aircraft module.

Q: What is that aircraft? Can I have it?
A: The F/A-18C Hornet we fly is a custom-made aircraft module that is only available to team-members due to external restrictions and privacy concerns.

Q: Why did you edit the audio?
A: To increase immersion and cover some miscellaneous noises in the original recording.

Q: What are the pilots saying?
A: Our live communication, or "comm," is a nearly-identical representation of the real Blue Angels radio procedures that enables us to fly precisely and consistently.

Q: Why are there only 5 aircraft? I thought there were 6 aircraft in Delta?
A: While the Delta formation usually consists of 6 pilots, for this show we were faced with the realistic contingency of a five-ship formation due to personnel reasons.
