The Blue Angels:
60 Years of Flying Excellence
Spring 2006    
Ambassadors of Goodwill
The Blue Angels undertake a challenging mission each year, one that calls for the highest degree of professionalism and dedication. The squadron travels to dozens of cities—and often to foreign countries—to perform for an estimated 15 million spectators during air shows annually. Additionally, the Blue Angels visit more than 50,000 people a show season (March through November) at school and hospital visits. Pilots and ground crew become the face of the Navy and Marine Corps for everyone from VIPs to young children who witness the squadron’s thrilling performances. The mission of the Blue Angels is not only to enhance Navy recruiting, but to represent Navy and Marine Corps aviation to America and to other nations around the world as international ambassadors of good will. Through sixty years of service, the Blue Angels deserve a hearty “well done” for a mission accomplished.
