The Navy Flight Demonstration
Squadron, the Blue Angels, announced their schedule for the 2007
show season. Following winter training, the team will begin its
61st season at Naval Air Facility El Centro, Calif., March 10,
2007. It will conclude Nov. 10 at Naval Air Station Pensacola,
Fla.
The Blue Angels are scheduled to perform 66 demonstrations at 35
air show sites throughout the United States, as they celebrate 20
years of flying the Boeing F/A-18 Hornet.
Demonstration sites are selected in support of the objectives of
the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and the Department of Defense.
Public performances greatly assist Navy and Marine Corps recruiting
and retention goals, enhance esprit de corps among uniformed men
and women, and demonstrate the professional skills and capabilities
of the armed forces to bolster pride in the American public.
“The Blue Angels are fired up and ready for a safe and
exhilarating show season,” said Cmdr. Kevin Mannix, Blue
Angels flight leader and commanding officer. “While we wanted
to perform at every air show site, we have a limited number of
available performance dates each season. Every venue that requested
to host the Blue Angels received the Navy’s utmost
consideration.”
