U.S. Navy Blue Angels air show coming soon: full schedule

PENSACOLA, Fla. ( WKRG ) — The Blue Angels, which fly in Pensacola, Florida, have released their full schedule for this year’s Pensacola Beach Air Show. The Santa Rosa Island Authority will host the event.

“Every year we look forward to hosting this world-class air show along our world-class beach to really showcase our hometown heroes, the Blue Angels,” said Robbie Schrock, director of administration for the SRIA.

The Blue Angles will headline the Pensacola Beach Air Show, which takes place from July 10 to 13. Other events on the air and on the ground include world-class aerobatic performers, interactive exhibits, military recruitment stations, and many different vendors.

Before flights begin, the SRIA requires that the public suspend all flights of drones or unmanned aircraft. The suspension will take place during the air waiver hours of the Pensacola Beach Air Show.

In addition, glass is prohibited on the beach, and leashed dogs are only allowed at the two dog-designated beaches on either side of the Island.
