F6F Hellcat (Blue Angels) History:
The F6F Hellcat is a fighter aircraft manufactured by Grumman. It
has proven to be the most successful aircraft in naval history,
destroying 5,171 aircraft when it was in service with the US Navy
and US Marine Corps and additional 52 with the Royal Navy's Fleet
Air Arm during World War II. The primary users and operators of the
Hellcat are the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps,
the Royal Navy and the French Navy.
On June 15 Voris led a trio of Grumman F6F-5 Hellcats, specially
modified to reduce weight and painted sea blue with gold leaf trim,
through their inaugural 15-minute-long performance at the Southern
Air Show at Jacksonville, Florida's Craig Field. The group, known
simply as the "Navy Flight Exhibition Team," thrilled spectators
with low-flying maneuvers performed in tight formations, and
(according to Voris) by "...keeping something in front of the crowds
at all times. My objective was to beat the Army Air Corps. If we did
that, we'd get all the other side issues. I felt that if we weren't
the best, it would be my naval career." The Blue Angels' first
public demonstration also netted the team its first trophy, which
sits on display at the team's current home in Pensacola.
