The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team, flies their F/A-18 Hornet aircraft and performs their famous Fleur De Lis maneuver, an aerial salute to the nation’s forward deployed military personnel, over Baltimore Harbor, off historic Fort McHenry, for a crowd of 75,000 people during the city’s Star Spangled Sailabration, commemorating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the writing of the national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." Naval vessels from the United States and other maritime nations are commemorating the Bicentennial. The F/A-18 Hornet aircraft and other aircraft types in the Navy and Marine Corps inventory, are a component of the assets that enable the Navy’s ability to operate forward and ensure freedom of the seas for commerce, travel and basic human rights, which is a fundamental mission of the U.S. Navy, Marines and Coast Guard.
