U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Team, the “Blue Angels”,
perform the diamond formation maneuver during their annual winter
training on board Naval Air Facility (NAF) El Centro, Calif. The
10-week winter training concludes in early March after the team
completes a minimum of 120 flights during a rigorous six-days-a-week,
three-flights-per-day schedule. An estimated 15 million spectators view
the team during air shows each year. U.S. Navy photo by
