US Navy Blue Angels enter Baltimore Harbor

The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team, flies their F/A-18 Hornet aircraft over the deck of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Sledge (WLIC 75303) and its embarked distinguished visitors, including the parents of Blue Angel # 2’s pilot, Lt. John Hiltz of Fort Mitchell, Ky. The team performed for a crowd of 75,000 people during Baltimore’s Star Spangled Sailabration, commemorating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the writing of the national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." Naval vessels from the United States and other maritime nations are commemorating the Bicentennial. The F/A-18 Hornet aircraft and other aircraft types in the Navy and Marine Corps inventory, are a component of the assets that enable the Navy’s ability to operate forward and ensure freedom of the seas for commerce, travel and basic human rights, which is a fundamental mission of the U.S. Navy, Marines and Coast Guard.
