Blues Wow Hometown Crowd (With Photo Gallery)
November 13, 2011
Nearly 200,000 people attend the Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show Friday and Saturday.
Hometown spectators were wowed by the world famous Blue Angels F/A 18 Hornet performances with perfect flying weather at Sherman Field aboard Pensacola Naval Air Station. Before the Blues, their C-130 Hercules transport known as “Fat Albert” thrilled the crowd with its short field take-off and low level passes.
The show also included the F/A Super Hornet Tactical Demonstration Team from the “Gladiators” of VFA-106 and a demonstration by an Air Force A-10 Warthog. A replica of the first aircraft to take off from a ship, the Ely-Curtis Pusher took to the air, along with several other vintage aircraft.
