Blue Angels fly just 18 inches apart at over 400 mph!

Pat O'Donnell flies with the U.S. Navy's elite Blue Angels — pilots who train thousands of hours to hold formations tighter than a car width at jet speed, giving him a rare firsthand view on precision aviation.

The Navy spends ~$10M training each pilot before Blues selection!

By rotating half the team annually, the Blues return elite, high-visibility pilots to the fleet — spreading that investment. Each 2-year Blue Angels tour is essentially a force-multiplier for Navy aviation recruitment and readiness.
