Over decades of spectacular shows, featuring the sleek and extraordinarily maneuverable F/A-18 Hornet, the Blue Angels have entertained more than 400 million spectators worldwide. Just up ahead, check out the complete 2025 Blue Angels schedule along with related fun facts and trivia about the most experienced flying aerobatic team in America: In 2025 the Blue Angels squadron is scheduled to perform in dozens of shows and locations throughout the United States. They begin their season in March at the Naval Air Facility in El Centro, CA and conclude on November 2nd at NAS Pensacola, their homebase in Florida. As always, also watch for a special performance by the Blue Angels during 2025 San Francisco Fleet Week in October.
• Formed in 1946, the Blue Angels are the oldest flying aerobatic team in the US. It also holds the title of second oldest flying aerobatic team in the world after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. • Originally, the team was called the Navy Flight Exhibition Team, but the name changed when one of the original pilots read about a New York City nightclub called "Blue Angels" and the name stuck.
• Blue Angels planes can travel at supersonic speeds up to 1,400 miles per hour. To avoid shattering windows (and eardrums), pilots have to fly at a mere 700 mph during exhibitions. • Marine Corps Capt. Katie Higgins became the first female Blue Angels pilot in 2014.
