Patuxent Naval Air Museum Gets Retired Blue Angel Jet As A Gift

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. (WJZ) -- The Patuxent Naval Air Museum is being donated a special piece of aerial history. The museum is now home to a retired Blue Angels jet.

The FA 18 B took its final flight last week before arriving at the museum.

Over the next few weeks, visitors can expect to see the fenced-in Blue Angel as a maintenance team prepares the iconic aircraft for the view of the general public. Guests can look forward to the final reveal of the exhibit in about 6 to 8 weeks.
