At their most headlining previous performance at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, the Blue Angels attracted more than 200,000 spectators. That was in 2017.

“We look forward to showcasing the combat-proven F/A18 Super Hornet, the mainstay of modern naval air power, and the C-130J Super Hercules, the premier logistics support aircraft of the US Marine Corps,” said Blue Angels Commanding Officer and Flight Leader (No. 1) Alexander Armatas. “Both aircraft operate worldwide carrying out the Navy and Marine Corps mission.”

There will be several other performances following the US Navy Blue Angels, including a Pearl Harbor reenactment.
