I've got a great load of Blue Angels pics that I feel like making into sigs, but I need their font.

You know, the cursive font on the side of the jet? Also, the bolded "U.S. NAVY" Font on the side as well.

Help please?

There is no official "font."  Navy aircraft are painted in accordance with MIL-STD-2161(AS).  While I can't give you a copy of our paint manual, I can suggest you ask Google to tell you about MIL-STD-2161. I know you'll find something.  As for the particulars to the cursive on the Blue Angels scheme, good luck.  I only paint in tactical gray, not shiny blue.  I wish i could get orders to them though.

are you a military pilot?

That quote paired with your profile picture makes me think so.......

Not a pilot, I'm a maintainer.  Specifically, I maintain the electronics on the E-2C Hawkeye.  I've been lucky enough to get a few "rides" and unlucky enough to be assigned to the corrosion shop (i.e. the guys who paint the airplanes) for a while...
