The National Naval Aviation Museum is proud to share a home with the United States Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron!
During the 2011 season, the Blue Angels will perform practice air shows over NAS Pensacola most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 8:30 a.m.** In addition, following most of the Wednesday practices, there will be an autograph session with the pilots inside the Museum* (see asterik dates below).
Admission to the Blue Angel practices and autograph session is FREE and open to the public. The viewing area for the Blue Angels practice is located behind the Museum. Signs are posted to direct visitors to viewing and parking locations, including special spaces for handicapped visitors. Bleachers are available for seating about 1,000 people. Feel free to bring your own lawn chairs. We also suggest that visitors bring hats, sunscreen and water.
**Blue Angel practices are subject to change without notice due to weather conditions, flight operations or other unforeseen events.
