The US Navy Blue Angels, who are now celebrating their 75th anniversary performed amazing maneuvers at the Thunder on the Buffalo Waterfront Air Show last month. One of the famous maneuvers, the Diamond formation which is shown in photos below was first introduced in August 1947 and followed by the Diamond Loop and Diamond Barrel Roll.
