It's the Blue Angels first performance since a fatal crash during an air show last month at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in South Carolina.
Thirty-two-year-old Lieutenant Commander Kevin Davis was killed when his Number Six F/A-18A Hornet went down during the final minutes of a performance.
The Blue Angels are known for their high-speed aerial maneuvers.
The team had not had a fatal crash since 1999 before the South Carolina incident, which remains under investigation.
