The Navy’s Blue Angels announced four new officer selections for the 2021 team, a team that is set to make history with the transition to the F/A-18 Super Hornet, and take part in the Blue Angels’ 75th Anniversary season. No new F/A-18 demonstration pilots were selected for 2021 due to the cancellation of the 2020 season, and the current demonstration pilots will retain their roles for the 2021 show season. The squadron selected a C-130 demonstration pilot, a maintenance officer, an events coordinator, and a flight surgeon to replace outgoing team members. C-130 Demonstration Pilot: Marine Capt. Jackson Streiff of Omaha, Neb. Maintenance Officer: Navy Lt. Henry Cedeño of Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico. Events Coordinator: Navy Lt. Katlin Forster of Scottsdale, Ariz., a naval flight officer instructor currently assigned to Training Squadron 86 at NAS Pensacola. Flight Surgeon: Navy Lt. Monica Borza of Virginia Beach, Va. The 2021 airshow season will include a Gulf Coast regional appearance at Lake Charles, La., on June 5-6. (Source: Blue Angels 07/20)
