Since 1946, it has been our distinct honor to represent the United States Navy and Marine Corps to audiences at home and abroad. For eight decades, the Blue Angels have showcased the unmatched precision, discipline, and power of naval aviation - while telling a much larger story about the men and women who defend our nation.
Our team is comprised of more than 150 world-class, active-duty Sailors and Marines. Each brings deep operational experience from the fleet and a shared commitment to excellence. Together, we proudly serve as ambassadors for more than 800,000 active-duty, reserve, and civilian personnel across the Navy and Marine Corps who stand watch around the globe - often forward, often unseen, always ready.
By design and by nature, naval forces operate far from home. The Blue Angels exist to bridge that distance. Through flight, we connect the American people to the quiet professionalism, technical mastery, and unwavering resolve of their Navy–Marine Corps team. Every maneuver honors a legacy built on readiness, adaptability, and relevance in support of 21st-century warfighting.
As we mark our 80th anniversary, we are proud to showcase the backbone of modern naval aviation - the combat-proven F/A-18 Super Hornet - alongside the Marine Corps' premier logistics aircraft, the C-130J Super Hercules. These aircraft operate worldwide, day and night, in every climate and place, carrying out missions that safeguard our nation's interests and ensure our ability to fight and win.
For eight decades, the Blue Angels have been defined by an unwavering commitment to mission, an exceptional work ethic, and a relentlessly positive attitude. These values are not symbolic - they are lived daily. Every Sailor and Marine on this team plays a critical role in delivering a flight demonstration that reflects the trust, teamwork, and professionalism found throughout the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
The 2026 season also coincides with a historic milestone: the 250th birthday of the United States of America. For two and a half centuries, our nation has endured because of the courage of those willing to serve something greater than themselves. This anniversary honors generations who answered the call - and challenges us to preserve their legacy for those who will follow.
It is both a privilege and a profound responsibility to perform for you. Whether this is your first Blue Angels demonstration or your eightieth, we hope the sight and sound of our aircraft leave you inspired - by the power of teamwork, the pursuit of excellence, and pride in the defense forces that stand ready every day on your behalf.
On behalf of the entire Blue Angels team, thank you for your support. We are honored to represent you.
CAPT Adam Bryan
Commanding Officer & Flight Leader
U.S. Navy Blue Angels
The team is stationed at Forrest Sherman Field, Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, during the air show season. The squadron spends January through March training at Naval Air Facility El Centro, California.
Around the country, the team serves as ambassadors of goodwill by bringing naval aviation to men, women, and children across America.
The precision flight demonstrations showcase the professionalism, excellence and teamwork found in all Navy and Marine Corps units, as well as provide the thrill and magic of flight to people each year.
Since its inception, the team has flown for more than 500 million spectators worldwide.
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a Blue Angel is the opportunity to spend time visiting hospitals, schools, and community functions in each air show city.
At schools across the country, the team takes time to interact with students and discuss the benefits of military service and the excitement of naval aviation across the country, hoping to inspire others to pursue their own dreams.
The hope is that tomorrow's leaders will be encouraged and motivated by what they see in the performance, and all the men and women that make up the Blue Angels.
The mission of the Blue Angels is to showcase the teamwork and professionalism of the United States Navy and Marine Corps through flight demonstrations and community outreach while inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country.
SHOW SCHEDULEThe Blue Angels proudly represent all the Sailors and Marines who proudly serve this great nation across the globe.
