Page "Blue Angels" Paragraph 55

In January 1957, the team left its winter training facility at Naval Air Facility El Centro, California for a ten year period.

For the next ten years, the team would winter at NAS Key West, Florida.

For the 1957 show season, the Blue Angels transitioned to the supersonic Grumman F11F-1 Tiger, first flying the short-nosed, and then the long-nosed versions.

The first Six-Plane Delta Maneuvers were added in the 1958 season.
