The Blue Angels Set to Fly High at the Vero Beach Air Show on May 10-11, 2014
Vero Beach, Florida (PRWEB) April 25, 2014 -- Real Estate Scorecard states some of the best places to live in Florida are nestled along the east coast. Indian River County is home to many beach and golf communities such as the Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club, The Moorings and Sea Oaks. Aside from the native beauty and exciting lifestyles the county has to offer, one city stands out in particular as a top retirement city in Florida and it’s the seaside town of Vero Beach. Folks who live in Vero Beach are in for a real treat this year as the Blue Angels are coming to town on May 10-11, 2014.
The United States Navy is proud to present, The Blue Angels, a demonstration brigade set to fly high for the first time at the Vero Beach Municipal Airport. Formed in 1946, a squadron team of six pilots began an aerobatic legacy that has lived on for more than 70 years! The Blue Angels as of today are the second oldest flying team to perform more than 70 times a year in 34 different locations across the U.S. The F/A-18 Hornet, engineered by McDonnell Douglass/ Northrop and now Boeing, is a jet designed for air-craft carrying war ships to carry out tactical missions from land, air or sea with a precision that has fascinated Americans for decades. The F/A-18 Hornet will showcase its supersonic speed via two General Electric F404 turbofan engines, giving the aircraft a high thrust-to weight ratio resulting in corkscrew dives, double barrel rolls and more tricks that will impress the whole family.
