Formed in 1945 at the order of then CNO Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the U.S. Navy's premier flight demonstration team is known as the Blue Angels. For many years, the Blue Angels have performed many flight demonstrations of precision flying at many airshows around the world and the United States.

The Blue Angels, like the Air Force's Thunderbirds, have had their share of accidents in their storied history. Precision flying is not without its risks, and these top Naval Aviators risk their lives at every performance. A single mistake can spell disaster for the entire team. This is why selection for both the Aviators and ground support personnel is limited to only the very best sailors.
