The US Navy conducted its final flight of the F/A-18 A/B/C/D “Legacy” Hornets on 4 November 2020 with the official transition of the Blue Angels to the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet platform. The “legacy” jets concluded 34 years of service with the 30-minute flight that took place around the Naval Air Station in Pensacola and lasted about 30 minutes.
For the Blue Angels, this flight was the last of the 2020 season with the 2021 show season being their first year flying the Super Hornet platform. It will also be the 75th anniversary of the team.
