Famed Blue Angels celebrate 75th anniversary at KC Airshow
The aerial demonstration squadron debuted larger, more powerful 'Super Hornet' aircraft
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds took to the skies to dazzle a crowd on Sunday with a flight performance in celebration of Independence Day.
Sunday’s spectacle marked the second day of the 2021 Kansas City Airshow in New Century, Kansas. The event was canceled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some 40,000 people were expected to be in attendance, FOX 4 reported.
The Air Force Thunderbirds took flight earlier on Sunday while the Navy Blue Angels spread their wings in the late afternoon hours.
