As the son of a Navy pilot, Detroit Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp got an unbelievable opportunity this offseason.

Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp lived out his lifelong dream of riding along with Navy’s Blue Angels in a heartwarming video the Detroit Lions released on the Fourth of July.

Fipp, the son of a former Navy pilot, grew up watching the Blue Angels in air shows back in his hometown of San Diego. He earned a commercial piloting license himself, which led him to meet the Blue Angels.

After hearing about his father’s time in the Navy and Fipp’s own passion for piloting, the famous group invited Fipp to ride along in a F/A-18 Super Hornet.

The video follows Fipp getting all suited up and into the aircraft, and his exciting flight.

“I can’t even express in words how grateful I am for the opportunity to fly there and really just be around those people totally helped me understand my dad’s love it,” he said.

Very cool video. You can watch it in full below.
