Blues get first new Super Hornet

The Navy's Blue Angels demonstration team received the first F/A-18E Super Hornet at the unit's home at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla. It is the first of 18 Super Hornets that are set to replace the team's legacy F/A-18 Hornets. Navy Capt. Eric Doyle, director of the Blue Angels Super Hornet Transition Team, flew the jet from Boeing's facilities at Cecil Field aboard NAS Jacksonville, Fla., to Pensacola on July 27. Pictures had first emerged of the aircraft, which is set to be the new Blue Angel 1, wearing the team's blue and gold colors in May.
