Fighter Jets | Blue Angels Why are the Blue Angels image first? Well, because they never disappoint! The Blue Angels, of course, are the main attraction to any airshow flying their F/A-18 Hornets. They have been performing since 1946 making them the oldest formal flying aerobatics team in the USA. Notice the “F/A” in the F/A-18 Hornet designation since it’s both a fighter and an attack aircraft. Even with these bald skies, the vapor trail provides some contrast. They fly in formation only an amazing 18 inches apart. For the whole story with all images, see Fighter Jets | a 7 Image Story.
