NAS Pensacola Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow
| Celebrating the Angels' last show of the season at their home base, this was a subdued show with little military action - the Blues, a couple of passes from the Heritage flight, followed by the impressive F-22 demo, and that was it, really.
We were there on Saturday 3rd November.
The static lineup was good, including many aircraft from the neighbouring Navy museum seen out of their usual context. Many of them are shown in the pages from my previous visit to the Navy Museum in 2015. |
