As we usher in the beginning of our 2023 air show season, we welcome a new commanding officer and flight leader, CDR Alex Armatas. CDR Armatas relieves CAPT Brian Kesselring as the 38th "Boss," and is ready to lead our team into our 77th season.

The mission of the Blue Angels is to showcase the teamwork and professionalism of the United States Navy and Marine Corps through flight demonstrations and community outreach while inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country.
