Experience the Blue Angels in 360-degree video | USA TODAY
Climb aboard Blue Angel 4 in the "slot" position. Situated at the back corner of the Angels' signature diamond formation, you'll see the F/A-18 Hornets flying inches from each other as they execute breathtaking maneuvers. (usat.ly/1Yb309N)
*****************
Blue Angels pilots are renowned for their flying skills and physical fitness. Their bodies endure as many as 8 g's during the demonstration. "It's very hard forces on your body," Frosch said.
USA TODAY caught up with the Blue Angels at the Great Georgia Airshow in late-October. The Blue Angels agreed to mount one of USA TODAY's specialized camera rigs, designed to capture video in 360 degrees, inside the cockpit of one of their jets. The Blue Angels released the video exclusively to USA TODAY after it was reviewed by the pilots and team.
For more 360-degree videos, check out the VR Stories application for iPhone and Android.
So grab your VR headset and buckle in! You're about to take a ride with the Blue Angels that few have ever experienced!

-knock knock -who's there -my left wing
This is the coolest thing I've seen all week. And Fallout 4 came out this week, so that's saying something.
Was the guy in the back taking selfies?!
it's getting' real at 2:30 with the wingtip to wingtip separation there.
This was great apart from the fact I had to sit really awkwardly on the toilet to see ahead
I knew they get close but I had no idea it was that close! Wonder if they ever touch?
yep thats close enough to scare me :) superb skills
