GF and I went to Naval Oaks to watch them this morning. Didn't feel like dealing with shite show at the beach.


WTF? It's the least busiest time of the week out of the 4 days.

I can see doing this on a Saturday but not on a Wednesday. You can get on and off the beach with ease on Wednesdays. Before you call bullshite, I've lived here for 17 years.

That is way too cool.

I used to live on PGA Blvd in Navarre and played The Club at Hidden Creek quite a bit. Hole 11 is a Par 4 with a dogleg left. I was laid up at the dogleg one day with an approach shot to the green when I heard the roar of the engines approaching. I watched the BA's in formation fly low right over that approach to the green and at such a slow speed you wondered how they stayed in the air. It was amazing.

I love me some blue angels but cmon really? That little stunt seemed INCREDABLY dangerous just for a few minutes of “clout”. What if there were to be a baby there that got thrown from the wind of that thing or someone with a week heart that couldnt handel it? Doesnt seem worth it to me when he couldve ended up in prison!

I mean yeah, its the least busiest day, but the bridge was still backed up all the way into 98 in Gulf Breeze, and the Casino Beach parking lot reached capacity by like 7:10. A lesser shitshow is still a shite show. I had to go to work directly afterwards and I didn't feel like dealing with all of that. Its nice and chill at Naval Oaks, and I didn't have to worry about parking or sitting on the bridge for 20+ minutes.

We have a good friend that flew “Burt” (C-130) for years with the Blue Angels.

Once the Pensacola lawyers get done with it, we will be signing waivers to get on the beach for the airshow. I have heard there was child injured...but it is rumor at this point.

And "injury" is subjective.

your downvote number will probably keep going up but that was one of the first things i thought too. We took our 11 month old to the beach recently and I do not think that would have gone over very well if that would have happened to us. I sure the noise would have been great for her eardrums too.

If you don't have ear protection for your baby at a Blue Angels show then that's on you.

apparently the tweet got taken down, but didnt realize that was an actual show i thought they were just flying around. Yeah no, I wouldnt have be at that show without ear protetction for her. I thought they were just logging hours/practicing and decided to go low.

Now that i see it was "breakfast with the blues, fly on maverick!

I'm married, sorry.


Just kidding My wife's family has rented a place (or places) for a week-long family vacation on Pensacola Beach for over 50 years straight. So we don't live here, just visit regularly.

Liberal pussies will cause a huge social media stink about endangering people because they hate America. Worthless pieces of shite
