Audiences at the Duluth Airshow in June will be wowed by spectacular maneuvers from the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.
In early June 2017, tens of thousands of spectators donned sunglasses and earplugs at Duluth International Airport to marvel at the aerial maneuvers of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels at the same time for the Duluth Air & Aviation Expo.The Blue Angels fly six Boeing F/A-18 Hornet aircraft and split into two formation groups to perform loops, rolls and tight turns at speeds up to 700 mph. The jets also fly in “belly-to-belly” mirror formations.
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds, in red-and-white Canadair CT-114 Tutor aircraft, had been on the schedule but could not attend this year.
