The U.S. Navy Blue Angels flew into central Pennsylvania once again today to prepare for their upcoming return to the area as part of its 2026 Air Dot Show Tour.

Around 9:30 a.m., Blue Angels plane #7 came flying into the Harrisburg International Airport, bringing in Blue Angels #8 and Events Coordinator Lt. Cmdr. Lillian Montana, and #7 and narrator for the shows, Lt. Ronny Hafeza.

Montana shared that the two of them are visiting each of next year’s 32 show sites to meet with organizers and community leaders.

The Blue Angels work together to showcase one of the most critical aspects of their shows, precision, which Montana said comes from continued practice and strong relationships within the team.

“We spent about 300 days a year with each other, and it’s often on the road,” she said.
