The Blue Angels are the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron and they're arriving in Hampton Roads this week to participate in the NAS Oceana Air Show.

Our first rider, astronomy teacher Ron from @LandstownEagles @vbschools, is headed up! I'll be up in a few hours. https://t.co/qCScrajZXc pic.twitter.com/XJ1lgllOWF
