The Blue Angles fly the FA-18 Hornet. It is Blue and Gold, the colors of the US Navy. They have flown the FA-18 since around 1987 when they had their first show at Naval Air Station Cecil Fileld Florida (Jacksonville). I was stationed there at the time and attached to the Light attack Wing One. We introduced the FA-18 to the Fleet around that same time. The FA-18 was a replacement for the A-7 Corsair. By the way it was then as it is now, a great show.
