SUPER DECALS SHEETThe Blue Angels; the United States Navy’s flying aerobatic team; were created in 1946 immediately after the end of World War II. On November 1986; during the 40th anniversary year events; the Blue Angels made their transition from subsonic A-4 Skyhawk II to the new the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The Blue Angels had already flown on aircrafts characterized by big size; as the F-4 Phantom II; but the choice of flying on a supersonic plane was; at those time; in contrast with the rest of the aerobatic teams; mostly Europeans; who preferred more maneuverable trainers. However; thanks to the F / A-18 Hornet extraordinary flying qualities and; in particular; the high maneuverability ; the choice done was an immediate success and the new aircraft has made possible to implement a high level aerobatic program. Even today; after more than 25 years; the Blue Angels aerobatic tram is still formed by 6 F/A-18 Hornet.
