The Blue Angels perform more than 70 shows every year throughout the United States and since their creation in 1946 have flown in front of more than 427 million spectators worldwide. Six highly trained pilots roll, turn, and invert their planes at speeds just under the speed of sound. The Blue Angels have used the same F/A-18A and F/A-18B Hornets since 1986. In 2007 the Blue Angels visited the Kaneohe Marine Base in Oahu Hawaii.
