Hey guys, I was a member of the BLUE Angels maintence team 1952 -1954 Butch Voris was boss in 1952, He was a great man, and I seen him at some of the reunions. I have kept in touch with him through his son -in -law. I had a DVD of his memorial, but past it on to other Alumnia members. In 1952 we had the third Yellow Bearcat and the colors were AN yellow with Blue Angel Blue Letters. I was the painter and we had to mix the Blue color. The color was three parts Insiginia Blue and on part Insigina white the Yellow was AN Yellow> The leading edge was polished metal . Butch told us that the Hellcats were Gloss sea blue and the lettering was Gold leaf
Two good books are BLUE ANGELS 50 years of Precision flight and FIRST BLUE . Lots of info from Butch.
