ANGELS MOVE TO PENSACOLA
July 1 Is Goal For Home Port Change

LCDR. R. L. "Zeke" Cormier and his precision flight demonstration team, the Blue Angels, will pack their gear about July 1 and move lock, stock, and barrel to the new master jet station, Forrest P. Sherman Field, at Pensacola. The switch is being made because of the jet aircraft congestion, around their former home NAS Corpus Christi, and as an economy measure.

The Blue Angels played to their biggest audience last year during a televised showing of their flying skill on the Dave Garroway show. It was estimated the 54 million viewers watched the spectacle.
