The Blues Are Back In Town: Over 25,000 Turn Out For Practice
March 27, 2014
Over 25,000 people turned out Wednesday morning to watch the Blue Angels in their first public practice of 2014 aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola.
Coming off a year with most of their shows canceled due to budget cuts, the Blues were back in Pensacola with a show that wowed the huge crowd with spectacular aerial feats. Following the show, the pilots signed autographs for hundreds in the National Museum of Naval Aviation.
The Blue Angels have changed their Tuesday and Wednesday weekly practice demonstration times onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP) for the 2014 air show season. The scheduled practice demonstrations will now begin at 11:30 a.m. onboard the air station.
Next month, Blue Angels are scheduled to practice in Pensacola on April 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 29, 30 behind the museum. Autographs are signed after the Wednesday practices only. Admission and parking are free.
