The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels,
will return to its full schedule for the 2014 air show season.
"Community outreach is key to connecting Americans to the military,"
said Blue Angels Commanding Officer and Flight Leader, Cmdr. Thomas Frosch. "Our
performances provide a unique opportunity to inspire millions to connect with
and support our service members, and we are looking forward... to an exciting
2014 season."
The Blue Angels originally announced its show schedule for
the 2014 season at the annual International Council of Airshows convention in
Dec. 11, 2012. Following winter training, the team begins the season Mar. 15 at
Naval Air Facility (NAF) El Centro, Calif., and will conclude the season Nov. 8
at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Fla.
The Blue Angels are scheduled
to perform 65 shows at 34 locations throughout the U.S. in 2014.
The Navy
believes there is value in demonstrating the professionalism and capabilities of
our Navy and Marine Corps Naval Aviation team, thus inspiring future generations
of Sailors and Marines.
