“We are only beginning to get our arms around the potential magnitude of what promises to be a great event,” said Branson Mayor Larry Milton. “The aerobatic maneuvering of skill and teamwork of the legendary Blue Angels will be on full display in our Branson skies. This event adds even more credibility to the Branson pillars of faith, family, flag, and fun,” said the mayor.
The Blue Angels demonstration consists of six F/A-18 Super Hornets in the iconic blue and yellow Navy colors.
