The Blue Angels fly the front line premiere fighter aircraft, which is capable of both unmatched air-to-ground and superior air-to-air capabilities. This combination makes the F/A-18 Hornet the primary aircraft of choice for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps forces for missions ranging from Close Air Support to Fleet Defense.
