The Blue Angels Collection
Formed in 1946, the Blue Angels of the US Navy (USN) are the world’s first officially sanctioned military aerial demonstration team. The group performs more than 70 shows at 34 locations throughout the United States each year, where they still employ many of the same practices and techniques in their aerial displays as in 1946. Their first performance was in 1956 in Toronto, Canada. During the four-day Paris Air Show in 1965, the Blue Angels were the only team to receive a standing ovation. Since their inception, they have flown for more than 427 million spectators worldwide. The team has operated eight aircraft so far, including the current F/A-18 Hornet.
Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat (1946)
Descended from the F4F Wildcat, the Hellcat was one of the two primary USN carrier fighters in the second half of World War II. It was the most successful aircraft in naval history, destroying 5,163 aircraft in service with the US Navy and Marine Corps, and an additional 52 with the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm during World War II. The Blue Angels, known simply as the “Navy Flight Exhibition Team” back then, flew three specially modified Hellcats during their inaugural performance at Craig Field, Florida. On July 19, 1946, the team officially adopted the name “Blue Angels” after a popular nightclub in New York City.
Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat (1946 – 1949)
The Bearcat was the last piston-engine carrier-based fighter plane built by Grumman. Affectionately called “Bear”, it was intended to be an interceptor aircraft. It is often mentioned as one of the best handling piston-engine fighters ever built, even outperforming many early jets.
Grumman F9F-2 Panther (1949 – 1954)
The Panther was the most widely used USN jet fighter of the Korean War. It flew 78,000 sorties and was responsible for the first air kill by the Navy in the conflict. It was the first jet aircraft flown by the Blue Angels.
Grumman F9F-8 Cougar (1954 – 1957)
The Cougar is a carrier-based fighter aircraft based on the Panther. It replaced the straight wing of the Panther with a more modern swept wing.
Grumman F11F-1 Tiger (1957 – 1969)
The Tiger is a single-seat carrier-based fighter aircraft, best known for its use as a demonstration plane. Its career as a fighter lasted only four years, but the Blue Angels flew it for nearly ten. It was the squadron’s first supersonic jet.
McDonnell F-4J Phantom II (1969 – 1974)
The Phantom II is a tandem-seating, supersonic, long-range, all-weather fighter-bomber. It was the primary air superiority fighter and a workhorse fighter-bomber for the US Air Force (USAF), Navy and Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. It was the only plane to be flown by both the “Blues” and the USAF Thunderbirds.
Douglas A-4F Skyhawk (1974 – 1986)
In December 1974, the team downsized to the more economical subsonic Skyhawk. It was the Navy’s primary light bomber in the early years of the Vietnam War. The Skyhawk was also the pioneer of the “buddy” self air-to-air refueling concept, allowing aircraft to supply fuel to others of the same type without the need for a dedicated tanker.
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet (1986 – Present)
The Blue Angels have been using the Hornet since they completed their 40th anniversary year and unveiled the sleek aircraft on November 8, 1986. The power and aerodynamics of the Hornet allow them to perform a slow high angle of attack “tail sitting” maneuver, and to fly a loop with landing gear down in formation, neither of which has been duplicated by the Thunderbirds.

Audrey Hepburn Collection (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sabrina, Roman Holiday) [VHS] $14.62 What a trio of movies in this boxed set: three of Audrey Hepburn’s best performances in three of her best films. In Breakfast at Tiffany’s, she is perfectly cast as Holly Golightly, Truman Capote’s prevaricating heroine who has forgotten her past to create a more interesting present–and Blake Edwards’s film version is both beguiling and sad. In Sabrina she is ideal as the chauffeur’s daughter who… |
