What this bill would do
The "Blue Angels Act" seeks to amend title 10 of the United States Code to officially codify the organization, mission, and location of the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, known as the "Blue Angels". It requires the Secretary of the Navy to maintain the squadron in Pensacola, Florida. The squadron's mission is to perform flight demonstrations to help with Navy recruiting and awareness. The bill mandates specific annual event and training flight quotas within Florida. Additionally, it prohibits the Secretary of the Navy from reducing the squadron's aircraft or personnel levels below what they were on July 31, 2025.
