-This spot is, to me, the
best spot.
You know,
you see ‘em up
close and personal.
-This is the best place
to watch
the Blue Angels ever.
Hands down. Everything.
Right here.
I think that us
Seattle natives that sit here
at the
end of the runway understand,
(JET ROARS)
you know,
where they taking off
and they’re landing.
You know, that’s the best.
(JETS ROAR)
Yeah!
-Seattle’s shortest air
show sitting down here.
-Zhooom!
-Vwrrrrrr!
-Zhrrooo!
(LAUGHTER)
-Technically, they're shhhhhhhh...
...VROOM!
‘Cause you
can't hear ‘em coming.
You can hear ‘em leaving. (LAUGHS)
-Come on, with it.
I'm ready.
(JET ROARS)
I told you. I told you.
(JET ROARS)
-This is where it starts.
They take off. they’re
down low. It's. It's loud.
Why the ladder?
I can get up above
the busy fence.
-It's a Seattle thing.
-You can't get in Lake Washington.
Yeah, they have the hydros.
-We seen
the big flying shows
and stuff like that.
-I done seen it.
-But to feel the Blues
right over your head.
That's the best.
But then the waiting though.
[LAUGHS] Get ready.
-Yeah, yeah.
(LAUGHTER)
-No really, I'm serious.
The wait for them to all
come back in formation
is the best.
Is that salute at the end,
right here
at the end of the runway.
They're just being
slow about it.
This is the best part.
-All right.
-Even though
we was getting ready
for 20 minutes.
(LAUGHTER)
-Ingrid, look. Over there.
-Get ready.
(JET ROARS)
(PEOPLE CHEER)
(JET ROARS)
I told you!
(JETS ROAR)
You know,
it’s that Seattle soul.
Blue Angels
are the Seattle soul
in the summertime.
(JET ROARS)
-It's part of Seattle history.
It's what Seafair's about.
(PEOPLE CHEER)
(JET ROARS)
-Yeah! Yeah!
Nuthin’ get better than that.
That was the longest,
shortest show ever. (LAUGHS)
The best!
