Open date weekend and an easy drive to Pensacola NAS. Rare show Friday and Saturday. Blue Angels and Thunderbirds flying together. Weather is going to be perfect. Check it out

They should go head to head in a massive dogfight to settle it once and for all.

One day earlier this week I was walking the dog and the T-birds flew over in formation. They were high af but when I looked at my flight tracking app they were transponding a signal so i could tell from that.

Saw the Thunderbirds for the first time this past weekend, a double show would be killer!

Don’t forget about the Super Delta tomorrow with both teams. The 12 ship formation is scheduled to be at 11:30. Pensacola Beach, Casino Beach and Johnson Beach are the recommended spots for best viewing. I’m looking forward to it.

So you can watch on the beach and get the same views as the summer show? We were told you need to be at the naval air station to get good views of the show!

The actual shows on Friday and Saturday are only visible within the NAS area. You can’t see the show from Pensacola beach.

The super delta that is flying today (6 Blue Angels and 6 Thunderbirds) will be buzzing over Oriole Beach, Paladin Street, Pensacola Beach, and Johnson Beach. It flies at 1130.

I’m about to head to BNA to hop on a plane and hopefully make it there in time for the super delta.

There is beach flyover tomorrow but the real shows are Friday and Saturday over the air base. You’ll be able to see the show from Fort Pickins but best at NAS. Also there will be a lot of other aircraft on display at the base

a marine walks into a bar and sits on a barstool next to another marine, they have a beer and talk and one of him puts his hand on the other's shoulder and says, hey, I'm going to a party tonight, want to go?
other GIrine says, what kind of party? first guy says well, there's going to be a lot of drinking, fighting, then fricking! awesome! I'm in! who all's going to be there? first guy puts his arm around him and says, just me and you brother!

Hoss Jones.

My father was on the Thunderbirds at the same time as Hoss.

What's the difference between a fighter pilot and a jet engine?



A jet engine stops whining when the plane shuts down.
