Seeing the blue angels in person is amazing. It's so much louder than you would expect and it shakes everything

Ouch. A line from the Air Force song titling a post about the Navy's Blue Angels. That's cold.

Well in all fairness, the phrase existed before the Air Force lol.

It's difficult for me to imagine them using the F-35 after all this time with the Hornets.

Well, I suppose that's technically correct, in that the music and lyrics were written by Robert Crawford for the US Army Air Corps, before the USAF was its own service. Crawford claims that the lyrics came to him during a flight. I have no idea if he cribbed "wild blue yonder" from somewhere else. Besides, unless Navy aviation has its own song, "Anchors Away" doesn't ever mention planes.
