The United States Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, commenced their 2024 Airshow Season at Naval Air Facility El Centro, CA on Saturday 3/9/2024. The team flew a full High Show, beginning with their signature 6 ship Delta Formation and ending with their 5 plane Big V Formation. Blue Angel number 4, Lcdr. Amanda "STALIN" Lee suffered a mechanical issue with her aircraft shortly after the Double Farvel, and was forced to orbit behind the crowd for the remainder of the demonstration in an attempt to troubleshoot the issue. The Blue Angels will be performing 65 flight demonstrations this season while visiting 32 cities across America throughout early November.
