Description
The United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron The Blue Angels was formed in 1946.
The aerobatic demonstration by the Blues consists of six F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. The maneuvers are a Diamond Formation by Blue Angels 1 through 4 and solos by Blue Angels 5 and 6. The Diamond is a tight formation at lower speeds of 400 mph performing maneuvers such as formation loops, rolls, and transitions from one formation to another. The solos show performances and precision of high-speed passes, slow passes, fast rolls, slow rolls, and very tight turns. The highest speed flown during an air show is 700 mph which is just under Mach 1 and the slowest speed is 120 mph. The Solos join the Diamond Formation near the end of the show for a number of maneuvers in the Delta Formation.
