Here is some info on the Blue Angels:
The Blue Angels is the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron. The Blue Angels team was formed in 1946 making it the second oldest formal flying aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The Blue Angels' six demonstration pilots fly the F/A-18 Hornet, typically in more than 70 shows at 34 locations throughout the United States each year, where they still employ many of the same practices and techniques used in their aerial displays in 1946. An estimated 11 million spectators view the squadron during air shows each full year. The Blue Angels also visit more than 50,000 people in a standard show season (March through November) in schools and hospitals. Since 1946, the Blue Angels have flown for more than 260 million spectators.

The "Blues" have flown nine different demonstration aircraft and five support aircraft models:

Demonstration aircraft
Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat: June--August 1946
Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat: August 1946 -- 1949
Grumman F9F-2 Panther: 1949 -- June 1950 (first jet); F9F-5 Panther: 1951 - Winter 1954/55
Grumman F9F-8 Cougar: Winter 1954/55 - mid-season 1957 (swept-wing)
Grumman F11F-1 (F-11) Tiger: mid-season 1957 -- 1969 (first supersonic jet)
McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II: 1969 -- December 1974
Douglas A-4F Skyhawk: December 1974 -- November 1986
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A/B Hornet (F/A-18B was #7 aircraft): November 1986 -- 1992
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C/D Hornet (F/A-18D is #7 aircraft): 1992-present

Curtiss R5C Commando: 1953
Douglas R5D Skymaster: 1956--1968
Lockheed C-121 Super Constellation: 1969--1973
Lockheed C-130 Hercules "Fat Albert": 1970--present

Miscellaneous aircraft
North American SNJ Texan (used to simulate a Japanese A6M Zero aircraft in demonstrations during the late 1940s)
Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star (Used during the 1950s as a VIP transport aircraft for the team)
Vought F7U Cutlass (two of the unusual F7Us were received in late 1952 and flown as a side demonstration during the 1953 season but they were not a part of their regular formations which at the time used the F9F Panther. Pilots and ground crew found it unsatisfactory and plans to use it as the team's primary aircraft were cancelled).
