US Navy "Blue Angels" F/A-18E 'Super Hornets' 6-plane 'Delta Pitch Up Break' maneuver.
Photographed from 18th Street and 19th Avenue N., Fargo. (NDSU Reseach & Technology, parking lot)

'Maneuvering Delta' maneuver: In Delta formation, all six aircraft will approach from crowd left in front of the crowd. Approaching Center Point, the formation will commence a left turn to exit the flight line heading crowd right in front of the crowd to set up the Delta Flat Pass.

'Delta Pitch Up Break' maneuver: Ingressing at 200’ on the 500’ line from crowd left or right. Each aircraft pitches out of the formation with approximately 2 second spacing, and turns away from the crowd to downwind, and configures for landing at 15-18’ intervals.
