Should be a fantastic show, would love to see it. We were in Ft.Walton Beach last October and were hoping the week we were there would be one of their practice sessions so we could drive to Pensacola and watch them perform but it wasn't one of their wednesdays to perform. We are going to try to coordinate our timing for vacation this year a little better so we can watch them.

Enjoy the show and hopefully a report to follow.

That is an awesome display of power and technology!

If you live anywhere near there do not miss the chance to see them. They have been in St Louis every other year forever. Last year they enlarged the St Louis County airport and the show won't happen anymore.

If I wasn't busy I would take the family there for sure.

If you get a chance, tell Buzz in the number 4 that ness says hi. I taught him the Immelman.

They are here every year in Seattle (August) and I'm fortunate enough to have an office at Boeing Field....thats where they take off and land during their practices and shows. Being about 50 yards away when they accelerate their engines is a mind blowing experience. Car alarms are activated everywhere. They do most of their show over Lake Washington but fly by the field numerous times at an EXTREMELY low altitude. Have fun. Its a good time.

The F/18 is an awesome display of power and grace. I have watched the Air Guard unit at Lambert do their morning rollouts several times before the new Lindbergh Blvd went in. Many times I have sit at Montauk and watched the mock battles take place over the Salem/Ft. Wood airspace. I even watched one drop flares one time, it was a great show. The catch and release area at Montauk is a great place to catch this show on a weekday.

Last time the Blue Angels came to Cape, they practiced several times during the week and we had several "fly bys" in town. Looking forward to it. And it is always nice to see some of the old WW2 warbirds. The A-10 demo is great too, especially when you see a jet plane almost hover over the air field.
