Description
The Fleur De Lis (sometimes spelled Fleur De Lys) or flower of the lily is a decorative symbol widely used in European symbolism, particularly by the French, as well as by numerous other nations and organizations around the world.
The United States Navy (USN) Blue Angels are the oldest military aerobatic team in the United States, formed in 1946. Currently flying the Boeing F/A-18 βSuper Hornet,β their 11th airplane since their inception, they perform a maneuver named for the iconic Fleur De Lis symbol. It is one of their signature maneuvers, involving all 6 aircraft, and certainly a crowd favorite. This image captures the team just after breaking in to the maneuver at the 2022 Minden Aviation Roundup in Minden Nevada.

I meant the shot is difficult to do, having watched and know how fast these planes go.
Mike Lee replied:
I was picking up what you were putting down and, yes, I missed way more frames than I hit that day...all part of the fun ππππ. Thanks again.
