This week our #BlueAngels pilots and support officers traveled to Naval Air Station Patuxent River to train in the Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) as part of our transition to the Super Hornet. The team conducted maneuver training and practiced emergency procedures in effort to maintain the strict safety standards of the flight demonstration. Check out Lt. Cmdr. James Haley, the right wingman for the 2021 Blue Angels, as he practices in the Super Hornet manned flight simulator for the 2021 show se

Hello, Blue Angels Fans! Today is such a significant day in our squadron's history and we invite you all to celebrate with us! 70 years ago, on June 15, 1946, the Navy Flight Exhibition Team, now known as the Blue Angels, performed its first flight demonstration at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida. A big thank you to Rob Stone and Vienna Productions for this great behind-the-scenes glimpse into our Blue Angels history. #BlueAngels70 #FromHellcatsToHornets #BA70Years | U.S. Navy Blue Angel
