Military Precision at its best –
The US Navy Blue Angels demonstrate the capabilities of the aircraft at each Airshow while flying the F/A-18 Hornet. Note: In this image you can see that Blue Angel 7 is flying in place of Blue Angel 2 – The reason is during the last practice session on Friday afternoon prior to Airshow weekend there is a VIP Demonstration flight that allows on lucky local media person to ride in the 2 seat version of the aircraft (in the aerospace world we refer to this as the Station Wagon).

You do such amazing work with these aerial pictures. This is so thrilling to see and when you think how close they are and the speed they are traveling, it just amazes you. Love the two formations and views you have here. The lettering is so perfect and clear. Love the yellow on blue and the darker blue of the planes on the lighter blue of the sky. Fantastic work Jeff. Have yourself a fabulous weekend my friend. #11041929Jyri Vissak May 09, 2014
