Flying the Diamond - a photo on Flickriver

Flying the Diamond

            The Blue Angels Diamond formation is a highly precise aerial stunt display performed by the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron. It consists of four F/A-18 Hornets flying in an intricately choreographed pattern, with each aircraft maintaining perfect spacing and timed movements. The lead aircraft guides the formation while the wingmen fly close behind, appearing as if they are connected to one another. This visually stunning display requires extreme coordination, concentration and skill, with pilots required to make minute adjustments in their flying patterns and communicate seamlessly with one another mid-flight. The Blue Angels Diamond formation has been a regular feature at airshows since 1946 and continues to awe audiences around the world with its precision and finesse.
