DID YOU KNOW? Blue Angels fun facts & trivia
• Formed in 1946, the Blue Angels are the oldest flying aerobatic team in the US. It also holds the title of second oldest flying aerobatic team in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931.
• Originally, the team was called the Navy Flight Exhibition Team, but the name changed when one of the original pilots read about a New York City nightclub called "Blue Angels".
Another crowd-pleaser: the opposing four point roll.
• The closest distance planes fly to each other is 18 inches during the Diamond 360 maneuver. For more, also check out the Blue Angels Maneuvers Manual from the FAA.
• Blue Angels planes can travel at supersonic speeds up to 1,400 miles per hour. To avoid shattering windows (and eardrums), pilots fly at a mere 700 mph during exhibitions.
• Marine Corps Capt. Katie Higgins became the first female Blue Angels pilot in 2014.
