2024 Blue Angels

Watch as the 2024 Blue Angeles perform practice flights at NAF Centro in Southern California prior to starting the 2024 air show season. The flying sequences were shot on February 24th and 22nd. A few of my shots on the 24th didn't come out that great so I made a unique combination with shots from off base on the 22nd but in order! Also tail numbers on the jets are almost completely irrelevant during winter training.
