The Blue Angels is the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron, with aviators from the Navy and Marines. The Blue Angels team was formed in 1946,[1] making it the second oldest formal flying aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The Blue Angels' six demonstration pilots fly the F/A-18 Hornet, typically in more than 70 shows at 34 locations throughout the United States each year, where they still employ many of the same practices and techniques used in their aerial displays in 1946.

    It's not too bad for a quick build. The shape of it is just right, but it's not an airshow quality plane, flight-wise.

    Flies terrible, color is off, and, while it looks beautiful in the picture, you left one part of the wing unpainted.
