DID YOU KNOW? Good afternoon #BlueAngel fans. Did you know that Blue Angel’s F/A-18 Super Hornets main landing gear tires are serviced up to 290 pounds per square inch of nitrogen, that’s five times more than the average everyday car. Which is usually between 30 to 55 psi of air. We use nitrogen gas to help maintain stable pressure under extreme temperatures during high speed takeoffs & landings. The Airframes work center is comprised of Navy Aviation Structural mechanics and Marine Corps F/A-18 fixed-wing aircraft airframe mechanics specializing in hydraulics and aircraft structure. These personnel maintain flight controls, hydraulic systems, landing, arresting and catapult gear, and perform composite/sheet metal structural repairs of the F/A-18 Super Hornet. During the air show season, an airframes representative accompanies the C-130 crew as a safety observer in the Fat Albert portion of the flight demonstration. usnavy marines #aviation #flynavy
