Blue Angels Winter Training: Experience the LOW Transition!

You think you’ve seen low passes before? Watch this. This may be one of the LOWEST transitions you’ll ever see from the Blue Angels. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are at NAS El Centro, California for winter training, getting ready for the upcoming airshow season. This is where the team sharpens every move before the crowds arrive. Now lock in on the two Solos coming right at eye—Blue Angels Five and Six. They launch in what’s called the low transition… and they come screaming across the fence at less than fifty feet. That’s not a camera trick. They look like they are at EYE LEVEL coming across the fence. That’s precision flying at the edges of perfection. Plane spotters and photographers line up at the end of the runway just to feel the jet wash as the Super Hornets blast overhead in afterburner. It’s loud. It’s fast. It’s pure naval aviation. And you know the pilots of Blue Angles Five and Six are just loving every minute of it! Winter training at El Centro is one of the best times in the country to watch elite formation flying up close.
