Les Blue Angels sont la patrouille acrobatique de la Marine américaine (Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron). Il s'agit de la première formation acrobatique militaire officielle au monde, créée en 1946. Une des particularités de cette patrouille est, qu'aujourd'hui encore, ses pilotes volent sans combinaisons anti-G dans des avions très performants. La difficulté de leurs évolutions est accrue à cause de ce facteur : c'est un véritable exploit sportif que font ces pilotes.

 

Les avions  utilisé par cette patrouille sont :

  • Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat (1946)
  • Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat (1946-1949)
  • Grumman F9F-2 Panther (à reaction, 1949-1951)
  • Grumman F9F-5 Panther (1951-1953)
  • Grumman F9F-8 Cougar (ailes en flèches, 1954-1956)
  • Grumman F11F-1 Tiger (1957-1968)
  • McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II (1969-1974)
  • Douglas A-4F Skyhawk (1975-1986)
  • McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet (1987-2020)
  • Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet (2021- )

Sans oublié le  C-130T Hercules (surnommé "Fat Albert") est utilisé depuis 1970 pour transporter les mécaniciens et le matériel de maintenance, lors des déplacements de la patrouille.
