El Centro, Calif. (Feb. 4, 2005) - Four F/A-18 Hornets, assigned to the 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 Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Johansen Laurel (RELEASED)
