Blue Angels Provide Great Family Entertainment

Often, finding a family activity, particularly one that everyone will enjoy, proves challenging. But thanks to the U.S. Navy, each year from March through November, The Navy Flight Demonstration Squad, more aptly referred to as the Blue Angels, climb into their blue and yellow Fighters and entertain audiences of all ages with a thrilling aerobatic show at various locations across the country.

At each event, six Boeing F/A-18 Hornets take to the air, demonstrating the naval aviators' immense skills and talents. Spectators at a Blue Angel's show will see breathtaking choreographed demonstrations provided by the four-plane Diamond team and the two-plane Solo team.
