United States: Strategic developments in Pensacola
The Navy Picks Only 3 New Blue Angels Jet Pilots a Year. Each Trains for 18 Months to 3 Years to Fly a Super Hornet as Low as 50 Feet and Cross Another Jet at 400 Knots on Its Side Seventeen officers, about 100 enlisted sailors and Marines, and a 2026 Maneuvers Manual that sorts 105 stunts into High, Low and Flat Shows: that’s the Blue Angels. Practices run two to three hours a day at NAS Pensacola from March through October, stretching to six or seven in peak season, with winter at NAF El Centro. The highest stunt is a vertical roll to 15,000 feet; the lowest is the Sneak Pass at 50 feet; the Opposing Knife Edge crosses two Super Hornets at 400 knots in 90-degree bank. Christian D. Orr goes by the book.
