I do not know how the pilots stay conscious. Russian fighters.

Impressive low speed maneuvers. I'd love to see them doing mock battle
with our Blue Angels.


The F/A-18 doesn't have vectored thrust. The Blue Angels don't fly with pressure suits and
they would surely pass out if they tried some of those manuvers. The
correct comparison would
be F-22.


True about the vectored thrust. I am pretty sure the Blue Angels wear
pressure squids during their show.
