The U.S. Navy Blue Angels annual demonstration season begins in March and concludes in November. Almost 200 requests were received for the Navy and Air Force jet demonstration teams. The number of supportable requests is limited by the length of the season, travel and training requirements, operational considerations, and seasonal meteorological conditions.

Demonstration sites are selected to support the objectives of the Department of Defense and the interests of the Armed Services with safety as the primary consideration. Performances greatly assist the recruiting and retention goals of the Services, enhance esprit de corps among uniformed men and women, and demonstrate the professional skills and capabilities of the U.S. Armed Forces to the American public and U.S. allies.
