PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- The Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, or Blue Angels, announced two changes to their 2011 show schedule Mar. 10.
Two new show sites were announced as Lynchburg, Va., May 21-22; and Battle Creek, Mich., July 2-3.
Demonstration sites are selected in support of Department of Defense objectives and in the interest of the armed services with safety as the primary consideration.
Performances greatly assist in the recruiting and retention goals for the military services, enhance esprit de corps among uniformed men and women and demonstrate the professional skills and capabilities of the Naval services to the American public and U.S. allies.
