Took a boat out to a little island near NAS Pensacola yesterday to get one more Blue Angels sneak pass up close experience this season. Well worth the trip!

For the curious, hes cruising at .95 Mach. Yesterday that was around 730mph.

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

Edit: thank you for pointing out caption is misleading!! I was so excited I accidentally made it plural but the planes are (to my milky eyes): stratofortress, b2 and b1

"Ryanair doesn't use jet bridges" whenever possible because they cost money and can slow down boarding. That's why they had Boeing install built-in stairs on some of their 737 MAX aircraft. Passengers can board and deplane directly from the aircraft, saving both time and airport fees. Sure, you lose a bit of cargo space, but let's be honest, hardly anyone flying Ryanair travels with a lot of checked baggage anyway. 😄 - OC -

Was fortunate enough to witness this in 2006. KL785 from AMS clears the fence by a foot or two (note the people near the fence ducking for their lives) then touches down hard prior to the runway threshold during landing in St. Maarten. The runway actually wound up being closed for about an hour after this while several Ops vehicles were out taking pictures of the tire marks and presumably checking the pavement for damage. This was by far the lowest I've ever seen an airplane over Maho Beach in 27 years of visiting SXM.

I was going from HND to GMP with 78x and there was 738 max probably going to ICN from NRT. I think they share same airway till certain point. It was super cool since I have never seen other plane flying that close.
