72 Years of
Aviation
Excellence
In 1946, the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Chester Nimi-
tz, had a vision to create a flight exhibition team in order to raise
the public’s interest in naval aviation and boost Navy morale.
In the 1940’s, we thrilled audiences with our precision combat
maneuvers in the F6 Hellcat, the F8 Bearcat and the F9 Panther.
During the 1950’s, we refined our demonstration with aerobatic
maneuvers in the F9 Cougar and F-11 Tiger and introduced the
first six-plane delta formation, still flown to this day. By the end
of the 1960’s, we were flying the F-4 Phantom, the only two seat
aircraft flown by the delta formation. In 1974, we transitioned
to the A-4 Skyhawk, a smaller and lighter aircraft with a tighter
turning radius allowing for a more dynamic flight demonstration.
In 1986, we celebrated our 40th Anniversary by unveiling the
Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, which we still fly to this day.
In 1949, it became necessary for the Blue Angels to operate
a support aircraft to move personnel and equipment between
show sites. These support aircraft including the Douglas R4D
Sky Train, the Curtiss R5C Commando, the Douglas R5D Sky-
master, and the Lockheed C-121 Super Constellation. In 1970
the team received the Lockheed Martin C-130, affectionately
known as “Fat Albert.”
