Description A shot of Angel number 2 just after their show at Joint Base Andrews in 2012.

Just makes you run right down to your nearest Navy recruiter and tell her you want to fly jets!

Oh, I'd like to fly jets... but I'm too tall to fit inside

Height isn't my problem for flying (I'm 5 feet, 9 inches tall), but wearing glasses was as it automatically disqualified me from being a pilot. I went to ships first and then got out of the Navy, but came back as a Navy lawyer.

Very nice I think they should all switch to the Superhornets lol they're much more badass

Actually, the legacy Hornets are more maneuverable than the new Superhornets. The new ones are bigger and heavier, and it impacts their maneuverability!

Nah... the Super Hornet is just bigger and uglier, and the more capable fighting machine. For airshows, the old hornet is about as good as it gets.

Is it just me, or #2 the most popular? Whenever I see a pic or a toy, diecast, or model, its always #2. . .lol

Maybe it is because # 2 has to try harder?! lol

I'm with you there! The Blue Angels have been flying the Hornet since 1986. Not sure if you will see them switch to the F-35 any time soon!

Thanks! More than likely the Blues will be flying Hornets for several more years!
