Les Blue Angels sont un escadron de démonstration en vol de la marine américaine . Formée en 1946, l'unité est la deuxième plus ancienne équipe de voltige formelle au monde, après la Patrouille de France formée en 1931.

The Blue Angels is a flight demonstration squadron of the United States Navy.[1] Formed in 1946, the unit is the second oldest formal aerobatic team in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The team, composed of six Navy and one Marine Corps demonstration pilot, fly Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets …
This image from the 2022 NAS Oceana Air Show struck me as quite beautiful. It’s of the Blue Angels doing what they do best: making wherever they are a lot more interesting. Light from the low sun plays against their trailing smoke as they paint the sky. I do have other images to work on, so, as my wife is prone to tell me, I'll put the planes in the hangar for a while.
As the Blue Angels rolled on the runway you can see the heat rising from the ground.
Heat distortion is caused when light is refracted through air of differing densities. Hot air is less dense than cold air, so light waves are bent differently in hot versus cold air. The result is visible heat waves when there is a significant temperature difference between the ground and the air above it.
The incredible Blue Angels went in a very tight formation. We learned they can come as close as 3 feet from one another. Is that skill or what?
Lcdr Julius Bratton and Lcdr Griffin Stampel are flying so close to one another in a breathtaking performance at Orange County Airport, Montgomerry, NY, June 25th 2023. Two of the incredible Blue Angels Team, in action!
One Blue Angel just completed another incredible manouver and flies above spectators in awe! Go blue Angels!

Miramar Air Show 2014

While at high speed, two Blue Angels Hornets F-18 coming from opposite directions, prove to be a difficult shot as panning with one airplane, the speed to catch the second one becomes twice as fast, very hard for the "click" moment...
Not much of a shot but a fitting end to a road trip. Waiting for the high speed ferry in Milwaukee across to Muskegon, the Blue Angels were taking practice runs over Lake Michigan for the weekend Air & Water Show.
