• The Blue Angels' iconic flight suits are designed to provide optimal aerodynamic performance, with a streamlined design and color scheme that reflects the team's naval heritage. • The team's F → A-18 Hornets are painted with a distinctive blue and gold color scheme, which is a nod to the United States Navy's tradition of flying with historic colors. • The Blue Angels' performances often feature a "diamond pattern" formation, where the jets fly in a tight, diamond-shaped formation that has become an iconic symbol of the team's precision and skill. • To achieve the team's high-speed passes and aerobatic maneuvers, the Blue Angels must undergo rigorous training and practice, "including simulated air combat and instrument flying exercises." • The Blue Angels' iconic "Blue Angels" call sign was actually coined by the team's original commander, Lieutenant Commander John "Jolly" King... who was inspired by the idea of a "blue angel" from a 19th-century French folk song.
