The Blue Angels just traded in their rides.

A few weeks ago, the US Navy Blue Angels flew past Orange Beach, Alabama, on their way back to Pensacola, Florida, for the first time in their F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft. In 1946, the Blue Angels participated in flight demonstrations around the world, setting new aviation standards.

I’ve been fortunate to see the team at practice sessions in Pensacola; these aircraft scream overhead, right in front of our bleacher seats. I can’t wait for their 2025 season and the transition to the new aircraft. That always gives new meaning to the phrase “up close and personal.”
