VIRGINIA BEACH — The pilots of the U.S. Navy flight demonstration team — the Blue Angels — could be seen and heard over the skies of Virginia Beach as they participated in the NAS Oceana Air Show this past weekend.
The team, which includes a member originally from Williamsburg, participates in air shows around the nation to showcase the flying power of U.S. Navy aircraft. The six pilots on the squad go through a rigorous selection process. Potential new members must be voted on unanimously by the current team to be offered a slot.
The NAS Oceana Air Show will return in 2025 on Sept. 20 and 21.
