BLUE ANGELS
Flying high, the Blues Angels demonstration squadron is the second oldest "formal" aerobatic team in the world. Formed in 1946, the Blue Angels fly as a six-member demonstration team with speeds up to 700mph (just under Mach 1). Normally split into a four-plane diamond and two solo planes comprising the six-plane team, they perform numerous breathtaking skills like flying toward each other (opposing passes), belly-to-belly, back-to-back and wingtip-to-wingtip mirror formations. Many times one aircraft is flying inverted, while the weather definately defines which performance you may see.
Interestingly, the Blue Angels have flow 11 different planes for flight demonstration since their inception. Begining with the Grumman F6F Hellcat in 1946, to the F/A-18 Super Hornet E/F seen since 2020, add your name to the half billion spectators who have already witness the "Teamwork, Professionalism and Precision" of the Blue Angels.
