Blue Angels Practices
Blue Angels Practices
The Blue Angels practice along the Gulf Coast is a jaw-dropping sight to see and something you don’t want to miss. Although the team travels the country during the year, they return home to NAS Pensacola most weeks and can sometimes be spotted from our beaches. To stay proficient in their demanding routine, they traditionally fly practice performances over the base on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during airshow season (March through November).
The viewing area for the Blue Angels practice is located on the Museum Flight Line north of the National Naval Aviation Museum. The viewing area includes bleacher seating for up to 1,000 people, chair service for a small fee, concessions and merchandise.
You can also often see the Blues flying over our beaches during their practice days and on their way home from shows.
