Public Practice Shows

See the full 2015 Practice Schedule here. (Adobe Reader required)(Schedule subject to change without notice.)

The Museum of Naval Aviation at NAS Pensacola has a viewing area for visitors to watch the team practice. The team visits the museum to answer questions and sign autographs after Wednesday practices.

At 11:30 a.m. on most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings during the March - November show season the Blues conduct full practice shows at NAS Pensacola, weather permitting. They have also been known to make surprise visits over Pensacola Beach at Casino Beach. So if you are going to the Naval Aviation Museum or Pensacola Beach don't forget to bring your scanner.

Off Season Practice

Within just a few days of the final, official, "homecoming" show at Pensacola, off season practice begins in the Blues R2908 Restricted Airspace just offshore of Fort Morgan and Gulf Shores Alabama. Weather permitting, daily practices are held in this airspace for familiarizing the newly arriving pilots, and the previous seasons team members into their new flight duties. These practices continue until the team departs for El Centro, California, for the full winter practice "season" in January. This space was also used extensively for re-qualifying the team during the 2011 season's safety stand down period.
