The film takes viewers behind the scenes of the U.S. Navy's world-famous flight demonstration team, the Blue Angels.

Each summer, three of the Navy's top fighter pilots are selected to join four veteran pilots in the Blue Angels, universally recognized as one of the best aerobatic teams in the world.

It's a journey of nonstop intensity, personally and professionally. In the air, the pilots must fly carefully choreographed routines just 18 inches apart, undergoing G-forces that would render most people unconscious. On the ground, they face the pressures of celebrity and a life spent on the road.

Filmed in spectacular high-definition video, Military Channel's(R) "BLUE ANGELS: A YEAR IN THE LIFE" provides unprecedented access to show the Blue Angels team as it has never been seen before.

The United States Navy Memorial, in partnership with Military Channel(R), will show the film daily at 9:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., free of charge, in The United States Navy Memorial's theater.

The Arleigh and Roberta Burke Theater is located in The United States Navy Memorial's Naval Heritage Center, which is adjacent to the Memorial's Plaza on 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue in Northwest, Washington, D.C.

The Naval Heritage Center is open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays.
