Pinnacle of Beauty in Flight

The U.S. Navy’s flight demonstration squadron – the Blue Angels – is in the middle of its ambitious tour schedule. Performing from March through early November, the best pilots in the world bring their acrobatic stunts to enthusiastic audiences around the country.

From their earliest days of flying precision combat maneuvers in the F6 Hellcat, the F8 Bearcat, and the F9 Panther, to the unveiling of the F/A-18 Hornet in 1986 and their current fleet of F/A-18 Super Hornets, the Blue Angels are the pinnacle of skill, power, and beauty in flight.
