    Six blue and yellow military jet aircraft, consistent with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron, are performing an aerial maneuver against an overcast sky. Five aircraft fly in a diagonal echelon formation trailing white smoke, while a sixth aircraft is positioned higher and separately, suggesting a split maneuver. The aircraft display distinctive blue and gold livery characteristic of the Blue Angels.

    The U.S. Navy flight demonstration squadron, the Blue Angels, perform a missing man formation at the U.S. Naval Academy as an aerial salute to honor the memory of 1st Lt. Travis Manion. The Blue Angels will also perform a missing man formation in honor of Lt. Brendan Looney on May 21. Manion was killed in action in Iraq on April 29, 2007. Looney was killed in action in Afghanistan on Sept. 21, 2010. Both are U.S. Naval Academy graduates and were friends with the current Blue Angel opposing solo pilot, Lt. Mark Tedrow.
