After mourning the tragic loss of one of their own, heroic United States Marine Captain Jeff Kuss, the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels — the most celebrates flight demonstration team in all the world — are back in the sky and doing what they do best: flying to wow the masses.

In a heartfelt and powerful moment, their dedicated military crew gave them loud, raucous applause before takeoff in Florida a few days ago, as they ramped up practice to ready for their litany of upcoming summer airshows.
