US Navy Flight Demonsration Squadron

The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, known as the Blue Angels, was established in 1946 to showcase naval aviation and boost morale. The unit performs precision aerial maneuvers at airshows and public events across the United States and around the world. Flying initially with F6F Hellcats, the squadron has since transitioned through various aircraft, currently operating the F/A-18 Super Hornet. The Blue Angels serve as ambassadors for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, inspiring generations to pursue careers in naval aviation.
