...Brazilian side has the panoramas, while the Argentinean side offers proximity to the falls themselves. But viewing from both sides is necessary to complete the experience. There are a series of catwalks from which you can glimpse the 275 small waterfalls: each vista is more spectacular than the last, and comes with brilliantly-colored butterflies, bright blue and green parrots, and moisture-laden air rich with the scent of vetiver grass and pine.

Most of the time the display of flying finesse comes off without a hitch. In the 39 years since the Navy's elite Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team was established, some 168 million onlookers have watched the Angels' shows, mouths agape at the sheer skill and bravery involved...
