Flying high

Blue Angels plane now

at Yankee Air Museum

The Blue Angels plane is delivered to the Yankee Air
Museum and unloaded from two heavy-duty trailers last week.

Last week, Yankee Air Museum officials welcomed a Blue Angel F/A-18C Hornet as the latest addition to the extensive historic aircraft collection at the museum. This particular jet was the lead aircraft for the Blue Angels in a performance at the Detroit 2017 Thunder Over Michigan air show  

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels have retired all of their F/A 18Cs and are now flying F/A-18E Super Hornets.  Yankee Air Museum is the last museum to receive a Blue Angel Legacy Hornet and it will be on static display indefinitely. 

Two large semi-tractor-trailers transporting the dismantled aircraft provided a rare sight for many motorists.

The aircraft is expected to be re-assembled and on display for the first time this weekend. 

The Yankee Air Museum is open during the winter months from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturdays and from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sundays.  Yankee Air Museum is located at 47884 D Street in Belleville.
