I've seen them on the beach many times but not at the base.

Can you bring chairs and coolers in?

How long should one allow from arrival to departure?

Are there other planes flying as well?

Is there a charge to get in?

Are other info?

TIA

OP said "this coming weekend", not "this weekend".

They return home to NAS Pensacola next week for the winter break.

Chairs yes, coolers no

Arrive as early as possible, usually not a problem getting in. Getting out is more difficult. We typically bring. a cooler and "tailgate" after the show to let trafffic clear out. Hard to put a time stamp on it.

Typically there are several private plane demonstrations and a couple of military ones.

Free

We used to set up at midfield near a beer tent. Johnsonville brat trailer is usually there, yummy.

Dozens of static displays of military aircraft with the pilots on hand to talk to if you wish.

I'm very curious if they will have both gates open for the show...

Earlier this year they limited everyone coming to practices or the museum to the gate on Blue Angel Pkwy, if that's the case for the show, traffic will be a nightmare.

ETA: Just found out both gates will be open in case anyone else is curious.
