Meet the Magnificent Six

ABC News produced a report featuring some of the greatest stunts by the U.S. Navy’s elite Blue Angels flight team in their winter training. The men train together six days a week in the gym and in the air.

The Blue Angels have been out of action for a year, but now they’re back in business. In a rare behind-the-scenes expose, the ABC correspondent was given a chance to video the precision flying that goes on by the squadron during their desert training.

26 pilots have died since the group was formed 70 years ago. That’s a 10% fatality rate.
