Pensacola is home to two annual airshow, the Pensacola Beach Airshow featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels in July, and the Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow in November.

The roar of the engines, the streamers of smoke, every formation in perfect symmetry. As the home of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, Pensacola not only gets the distinct honor of weekly practice March – November, it has not one, but TWO airshows. The week following Independence Day, Dubbed “Red, White, and Blues Week”, the Santa Rosa Island Authority hosts the Pensacola Beach Airshow Featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Veteran’s Day weekend, the Blue Angels close the official touring season at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

BLUE ANGELS HOMECOMING SHOW

SHARE

It's pure aviation excitement as the Blue Angels return home for the NAS Pensacola Homecoming Air Show. Gates will open at 8:00 a.m. with the show beginning at 9:30 a.m. The Blue Angels will fly on Thursday and Friday, during the day shows, around 2:00 p.m. Admission, parking and blanket seating are FREE. “Blanket Seating” means an open paved area where attendees can stand or sit on their own blankets or lawn chairs. Preferred seating areas are available with paid admission.

There is a seating section for wheelchairs only (first come, first served). A companion may sit with the wheelchair member, but we ask that large family groups not take up space that others with handicap needs would like to use. If a family wants to purchase reserved seating (Box or Flightline Club), accommodations for a wheelchair can be made the day of the show.
