REQ current Blue Angels serials

Post by EHAM »

Hi all,

I know it's probably not an easy question, but I'll give it a try. Can someone give me the current registrations (as per end of July/begin of August) of the Blue Angels #1-6 and twice #7? They were at Boeing Field (KBFI) the last few days to perform displays above the Washington Lake, Seattle.
I managed to get one serial: #5 is 162411. Someone for the others?
Many, many thanks in advance!

Regards,
Joost de Wit

EHAM,

Is the military news board the right place for asking serial numbers? Shouldn't you be on the spotting worldwide board?

People visit this board to read news concerning military aviation and your questions, like the one asking for the Blue Angels serial numbers, are not what most of us will call newsworthy.

Kind regards,
Sud

Could be, I had some doubts in which of the two to place it.
I'll leave it up to the mods.

Hello Joost,

@ the beginning of April I visited the Tyndall Air Show in Florida.
There the Blues performed their magic.
The aircraft were: 161967(BA1), 163106(BA2), 163130(BA3),161959(BA4), 162826(BA5) and 163093(BA6). Fat Ablert was C-130T 164763. Unfortunately Blue Angels 7 did not fly and I was not able te read it off :cry: .

Hope this helps

This picture at Airliners.net will give you another serial: 162826/1
But be very careful with searching for the serials. These showteams have the tendency to switch the codes whenever they please, since they always want to fly with numbers 1 to 6. Just do a search on the above and you will find it with number 1, 4, 5 and 6, all within one year. And your double 7 proves that as well.

My best advise, contact the guy who took above picture, he might have all numbers for you, from KBFI.
