The Navy's Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels, performed their iconic "Delta Breakout" maneuver over Disney World's equally iconic Cinderella Castle today on their way to their next air show in Melbourne, Florida, wowing Spring Breakers by the tens of thousands. It doesn't get much more magical than that folks!
For those that may think this is a waste of money, Orlando sits almost perfectly in a straight line between the Blue Angels home base of Pensacola, Florida and their destination show site in Melbourne, Florida. But really, can you think of a better recruitment and PR move than buzzing Disney World during the middle of Spring Break? I don't think so.
Well done Blues, well done.
