In “Blue Angels... With Dirty Faces,” Ron Beeler, former Blue Angels Special Flight crewman and jet mechanic, veteran of two tours with the world famous Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron... the backseat-rider in the Blue Angels’ Navy 0 and later in Navy 7... takes us on a frequently humorous, behind the scenes close up look at the personal interaction, situations, and social experiences of the pilots, and “the Crew...” the uncelebrated stars, “The Blue Angels With Dirty Faces.”

Enjoy a fresh, new look at the legacy of the Blue Angels from the eras of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Long before the sleek and powerful F/A18 Hornets of today, he presents little known facts about the relatively dangerous, first generation jets the pilots flew. . . And many years before the crowd-pleasing sweetheart, “Fat Albert,” he takes you on exciting rides in the slow-flyin’, tail-draggin’ transports, in which the “Crew” spent endless hours to reach a “Show Site.”
