It’s going to be a little quieter over Lake Washington during Seafair this summer as the U.S. Navy Blue Angels have officially canceled their season due to the federal budget sequester.

The navy notified Seafair organizers of the cancellation Tuesday.

The Blue Angels performance has been part of Seafair for 40 years, though organizers promise the air show will go on without the navy jets.

The previously announced Patriots Jet Team will now headline the event. The six-ship aerobatic team electrifies spectators with fast-paced formation flying, choreographed four-ship diamond formation aerobatic maneuvers and are highlighted by a computerized red, white and blue smoke system, according to the Seafair website.

Many of the pilots include past experience with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds and Royal Canadian Air Force.

In addition to the air show, Seafair Weekend will include H1 Unlimited hydroplane racing, F1 PROP Tour boat racing, a vintage hydroplane exhibition, a wakeboard competition featuring the top athletes in the sport, live music and activities such as a zip line and water slide.

Seafair weekend is scheduled for Aug. 3-5.
