The Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron has been flying the airshow circuit since April 1946 and is the second oldest unit of its kind. Since its inception, the team travels around the United States showcasing the pride and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps while wowing crowds with their amazing acrobatics. Typical airshow performances include demonstrations by the units Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet and Lockheed C-130J Super Hercules. Team members can often be found meeting and greeting crowds between performances. 

The Thunderbirds have been the U.S. Air Force demonstration squadron since May of 1953. Flying their multi-role fighter jet, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the team performs in air shows as well as flyovers for various events. These demonstrations help to showcase the skill and professionalism it takes to be part of one of the finest fighting forces in the world. Airshow demonstrations typically consist of six aircraft flying in formation and performing acrobatics. Like most performers, the pilots and crew are usually available for meet and greets.
