Two U.S. Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team F/A-18 Hornet aircraft fly opposed to each other after conducting a previous maneuver in Baltimore Harbor, off of historic Fort McHenry, where 16.500 people were among the crowd of 75,000 people, watching the show during the city’s Star Spangled Sailabration, which commemorated 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.
