    Can hear the Engines start up from our home and they fly right over our home before they practice. Sometimes they will do there loops over our way. Missed them when we lived in Alabama. My dad was in the Navy and retired from Civil service at NAS.

    So, when are the Blues flying the home show over the beach? I have not been in years and I have missed it. I was so excited when I saw our boys fly over traverse city, Michigan and the cherry festival. It made me feel like i was back home. They are amazing, and I really want to get back to doing the things I love. I must day , the blues and mardi gras are my two faves when it comes to the beach fun.
    Thanks in advance.

    In our 3 score and 10+ years traveling around this spinning blue orb, the Blue Angels practices and July Home Show, (over Pensacola Beach, and coincidently centered in front of our retirement home), are easily the finest expenditures of taxpayer funds we have been privileged to witness and share with friends and extended family.

    THANK YOU, United States Navy, Blue Angels, Escambia County, SRIA, City of Pensacola and local LEOs, for the combined, coordinated efforts that contribute to this awesome, spectacular, world famous, annual display of modern precision aerial acrobatics.
    We can hardly wait for July!

    My husband is interred at the cemetery. Just wondered if the Blue Angel practice sessions are visible from the cemetery. I would love to plan a visit to his grave site. April 6th is our 61st anniversary.
