The Blue Angels have celebrated three major milestones in 2021. First, it is the 75th anniversary for the US Navy’s flight demonstration team, which began in 1946 at the direction of then CNO Admiral Chester Nimitz. This year the team also did something that hasn’t been done since 1987 - they changed the aircraft used in their demonstrations. In 2021 the team transitioned from the Legacy Hornet to the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, which is larger and carries more fuel, allowing more afterburner use and enhanced maneuvers. Lastly, the team’s support aircraft, known as Fat Albert, was also updated from a C-130T to a
C-130J Super Hercules, vastly increasing their effectiveness and efficiency. Blue Angels numbers one through eight signed this painting at the 2021 Fargo Airshow in July.
