The USN Blue Angels perform the Line-Abreast Loop; the most difficult formation maneuver to do well. No.5 joins the diamond as the 5 jets fly a loop in a straight line. USN Lt. Commander Craig R. Olson (#5 Lead Solo) joins Commander Steve Foley (#1 Flight Leader/Commanding Officer), Lt. Commander John Saccomando (#2 Right Wing), USMC Major Mathew Shortal (#3 Left Wing), and Lt. Commander Max McCoy (#4 Slot) to perform this maneuver.
