LONG POND -- The Blue Angels act is coming to the Poconos this summer.
The U.S. Navy announced Tuesday the flight squad will perform at Pocono Raceway on August 27 and 28.
The Blue Angels are the Navy's flight demonstration team. Their mission is to display the precision and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps and inspire service to the country.
This year's show at the tricky triangle is part of the Blue Angels' 2016 tour. The Blue Angels are scheduled to perform 70 demonstrations at 34 locations this year.
The last time the Blue Angels were in our area was in 2000, when the group performed at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport.
