Since 1946, the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration
Squadron has taken performance flying to new levels
"Blue Angel Number One," Roy M. "Butch" Voris, this limited edition
print features a wonderful depiction of his Grumman F6F Hellcat that he flew
as Officer-in-Charge of the first Navy Flight Exhibition Team - the Blue Angels.
His wartime accomplishments and flight team history are all here.
The Grumman F8F Bearcat was flown by the Blue
Angels from 1946-1952 and was their last propeller-driven aircraft.
In
the 1960s, a C-121 provided transportation and logistical support for the Blue
Angels. While it was a wonderfully graceful airplane, the Connie was not well
suited for this support role and so was replaced in 1970 with a C-130 Hercules
F-4J Phantom II flown by the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels demonstration team
from 1969-1973
F/A-18 Hornet, which the
legendary Blue Angels have flown since 1986
Captain Rob Field, Number 1 Flight Leader,
The team soon became known worldwide for its spectacular aerobatic
stunts. During a trip to the "Big Apple," Lt. Wickendoll came across
an advertisement in The New Yorker for the city's popular "Blue
Angel" nightclub. Voris liked the name and on July 19 officially
made it the team's moniker. On August 25 the squadron upgraded their
aircraft to the F8F-1 Bearcat. Though Voris left the team on May 30,
1947 the "Blues" continued to perform nationwide until the start of
the Korean War in 1950, when (due to a shortage of pilots) the team
was disbanded and its members were ordered to combat duty. Once
aboard the aircraft carrier USS Princeton the group formed the core
of VF-191, Satan's Kittens.
