The mission of the Blue Angels is to “showcase the teamwork and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps through flight demonstrations and community outreach, while inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country,” according to the Aviation Roundup organizers.
In addition to the Blue Angels, aeronautic acrobatic Bill Stein will wow in his performance, and The Chuters — a veterans centric parachute demonstration team — will take to the skies with parachutes and colored smoke for a dazzling show.
Keep an eye out for Greg Koontz and the Alabama Boys, who will perform traditional flying circus classics courtesy of Koontz’s time spent in Col. Moser’s Flying Circus.
Kirby Chambliss, world competition winner, is a member of the U.S. National Aerobatic Team, and will be in the air performing his many aerobatic skills and routines.
