I love this show and can watch it from my front yard feels like they are so low I can touch them - actually right now looking out front window (over computer) across to ocean and they are flying, turning, flipping in formation and making u turns at our house to head few miles back north - gives me goosebumps -
Join the City of Jacksonville, Naval Station Mayport and City of Jacksonville Beach, City of Neptune Beach and City of Atlantic Beach as the skies and waterways of the First Coast are transformed into the backdrop for the most exciting air acts and military demonstrations in the world!

They come to us in the spring each year, and we love watching them flying past our terrace as they perform in the Air and Sea show over the ocean.

It has been a few years ago, (ok many years ago), but a friend of mine from Miles City was one of the Blue Angels.

I can only imagine how cool that is to have them fly over your yard!

Joanna, as you know we love the Blue Angels. When they're in Fort Worth we can watch them fly over from inside our house through our big skylights. But we can see them better from the back yard as they fly over to land at the former Carswell AFB -- now a Navy run joint reserve base.

Joanna, so envious! Like Jim B, it's been many yrs ago when we saw them live here, and then it was banned as we're a "major metropolitan area!" Fabulous show! (and scary at times!)

We are lucky that Toronto is on the lake as we get to see the air show every Labor Day when the Canadian Snow Birds perform and this year it was so nice to have the Blue Angels back again....it is a great wrap up to the end of summer. Sure wish they flew over our patio...lucky you Joanna.

Joanna,
How wonderful for you to have your own private air show !! Do you suppose you could get them to fly-by Lake Pinehurst ??
Sorry - - I have been out of it for the past few weeks due to a death in the familh. Hope all is well with you and Tony.

They're usually here in July. It sure isn't as nifty as watching them perform over the ocean. But it is quite a thrill to be on the streets downtown and whoosh, zoom - they fly low overhead. They come to do an airshow out of Willow Run Airport, but spend a few days there and fly over the Ann Arbor Street Art Fairs to add a little extra excitement.

Rod & Cynthia, I don't know you but please accept my sincere condolences on the death of a family member. We've lost several in the past year ourselves and I know these are difficult times.
