Blue Angels Air Show


Pensacola Naval Base is home to the Blue Angels and every fall they have a Homecoming Air Show. This was our first Blue Angels show and it was amazing.

The name of the Blue Angels came from the original team when they were planning a show in New York in 1946. One of the them came across the name of the city's famous Blue Angel nightclub in the New Yorker Magazine. (blueangels.navy.mil)

They had historic airplanes flying like the Curtis Pusher and various great stunt planes with pyrotechnic effects.


The spectators were set up on the tarmac where they had a great display of all different kinds of aircraft.



They even had all kinds of refreshments specializing in southern cuisine :).

  1. Love it! I really like how you put where they got their name and the picture of the food because it really gives it a culture shock feel that would make people want to go there.
