They’re Breathtaking! U.S. Navy Blue Angels Aerobatic Team

Multiple camera view of the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels. Highlights. The Blue Angels is the United States Navy’s flight demonstration squadron which was initially formed in 1946, making it the second oldest formal aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The Blue Angels’ McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets are currently flown by five Navy demonstration pilots and one Marine Corps demonstration pilot. The Blue Angels typically perform 60 flight demonstrations at 30 locations across the United States and two shows at one location in Canada to showcase the pride and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to the American and Canadian public.
