The Blue Angels filmed in 360-degree.
Take a look at this new video.
It was shot with 360fly, the first single-lens 360-degree camera, a type of device used to capture a lot of cool footage across a number of different sports.
A few days ago, on May 12, 2016, one 360fly HD camera was installed aboard one of the F/A-18 Hornet of the Blue Angels demo team during the first practice for the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show and Stem Expo. As you can see in the video below, the flight is captured from the #4 slot position, flown by Lt. Andy Talbot. The #4 jet flies directly behind the #1 and between and below the #2 and #3 jet.
360-degree clips are quickly becoming the standard for stunning aviation video.
