The emblem is divided at an angle, with the upper-right section illustrating four F/A-18 silhouettes flying in formation against a backdrop of clouds. The lower-left section displays the Naval Air Training Command insignia, which includes the Navys eagle-and-anchor logo and the outline of an aircraft carrier.

History

The Blue Angels initially flew the Grumman F6F Hellcat before transitioning to aircraft like the F8F Bearcat, F-9 Cougar, and F-11 Tiger. Today, they operate the F/A-18 Super Hornet, a powerful jet that enhances their ability to perform intricate aerial displays. For over 70 years, the Blue Angels have entertained more than 500 million spectators, demonstrating both their piloting expertise and the advanced capabilities of naval aviation.
