Count Shows Blue Angels Crowd Up (With Blues Photo Gallery)
July 11, 2010
It appears that attendance at Saturday’s Blue Angels Pensacola Beach Air Show was higher than last year, at least according to a Santa Rosa Island Authority vehicle count.
A vehicle count from midnight Friday until 1 p.m. Saturday showed 9,431 vehicles passing through the toll booths to the islands, up from 8,579 last year. The Santa Rosa Island Authority estimates that an average of three people were in each vehicle, meaning 28,293 traveling to the island. Those numbers do not include people already on the beach or those traveling from Navarre.

I MISSED THE SHOW AND HAVE BEEN SO UPSET…. I KNOW THEY WERE BETTER THAN EVER !!! GO NAVY !!!
The Blues put on an awesome show! Best beach show I’ve ever seen. A primo highlight was the pelican chasing the solo jet past show center, as if to say “Look, I can do this, too!” The crowd clapped and cheered, as much for the pelican as the Blues. The weather held off until the show was over, and a good time was had by all.
Bravo Zulu, Blue Angels
