Blue Angels
Military flight performers
The Blue Angels are the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron, known for precision aerial acrobatics performed in tight formation.
Founded in 1946, they perform at air shows across the country, flying F/A-18 Super Hornets in choreographed maneuvers that showcase military aviation skill: We watched the Blue Angels at the air show.
