They appear to be releasing/rolling out their practice/flyover schedule every couple of days.

They visited DC, Baltimore, and Atlanta last week; DFW, Houston, and New Orleans today; and it looks like Miami and Jacksonville this Friday.

Beyond that, I’d suggest Googling “Blue Angels” every day or so.

At 1:45 I saw them in LA, so your time makes no sense.

If you ever have the opportunity to go see one of their shows, I couldn’t recommend it enough. Idk if they still do em, but a young sand mountainDvalues went to one of their shows at a local airfield when I was little, and it was one of the coolest things ever.


Even better than a show is getting a chance to watch them maneuvering in Pensacola. I was fortunate enough to spend a bunch of time at the NAS a few years ago and they were out almost daily....like an airshow without the freakin' crowd they attract!

Looks like F18’s
Probably C model if I’m not mistaken. Looks like single seater C models but I could be wrong. Could be E models but I think it’s single seaters not two seat E’s.

Good catch!
I was posting from my phone; but before hitting submit, I received a Zoom call from work.
I completed the post afterwards but had forgotten to change the title.
My apologies.


One of the pilots is an Aggie btw.

Yes the Angels still do the show. Our family sees it every year in Pensacola....going on 25 strait years. And yes it NEVER gets old it is amazing. Those guys are nuts they fly so close to the buildings you can see the guy in the cockpit.

They are indeed single seat F18s. One of them that doesn't do the show is a two seater that's sole purpose is to take guests up. I have literally walked around them on the airfield.

Yes and no. We’ve had some really historic rainfalls lately. Show me a city that could handle 42” (Imelda) & 60” (Harvey) of rain in a short span.

There’s also been B-52s over northern Louisiana and C-17s over Washington I think.


And F-16s over SC. The Swamp Fox Crew out of McEntire AFB.

out of no where one will buzz you from behind.

Dallas is an ugly city. Flat and all concrete and steel. I’ll go to Austin anytime over Dallas.
