Civilian Acts Canceled; Blue Angels Set To Fly Limited Performances

July 12, 2019

The civilian acts have been canceled for the Blue Angels Air Show at Pensacola Beach, and the Blue Angels will try to fly Saturday and Sunday.

The Blues will perform a limited show at 2 p.m. both days if the weather and winds fall within their limits.

The civilian acts were canceled due to winds from Tropical Storm Barry and a lack of availability of rescue units in the water.

The Santa Rosa Island Authority, FAA and Escambia County Emergency Management will decide at 8 a.m. Saturday if the Blue Angels will fly, and we’ll have the announcement on NorthEscambia.com.

In order to fly, the Blue Angels need the wind to be under 25 knots (28.76 mph) and a visibility of at least three nautical miles (3.45 statute miles).
