Blue Angels Homecoming Show This Weekend (With Complete Schedule)

November 8, 2014

The Blue Angels will close the 2014 season at their annual Homecoming Air Show aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola today and Sunday.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the air station, this year’s show days will include two full show days Saturday and Sunday at 9 a.m. (gates open at 8 a.m.)

Prior to the world-famous Blue Angels F/A 18 Hornet performances, the Blues’  C-130 Hercules transport known as “Fat Albert” will thrill the crowd with its short field take-off and low level passes at 2 p.m. followed by the Blues.

Tentatively scheduled for all both days will be extraordinary aerobatics by performers such as John Klatt in his “Screamin’ Sasquatch’ Jet Waco and David Martin will pilot his Brietling CAP 232.  Roger Buis will amaze the crowd in “Otto the Helicopter” and Matt Younkin will excite everyone with aerobatics in his Beech 18. Neal Darnell will also be on hand to impress visitors in his Shockwave  Jet Truck.

The crowd can marvel at the grace and beauty of the renowned Budweiser Clydesdales on Saturday. The Clydesdales were first introduced to the public in April 1933 and since have awed audiences all over the world.

Visitor may also stroll around more than 50 static display aircraft, from early aviation vintage planes to state-of-the-art modern fighters and more. There will also be a “Kids Zone” for children.

Admission and parking for all shows are free.  Areas will be reserved for the   physically challenged.  Food and memorabilia will be available at numerous concession stands. Pets and coolers are not permitted.  Security personnel and signs will direct spectators to parking areas near the show site.
