β-------------------------------------
ππππππ ππ π:πππ©π¦: Blues flew over Wahoo Stadium, while the Blue Wahoos were playing.
β-------------------------------------
ππππππ ππ π:πππ©π¦: Blues passed over 9 Mile Road, headed south.
β-------------------------------------
ππππππ ππ π:ππ: Fat Albert is in the air. Our current best estimate on timing is between 5:25 and 5:50pm.
β-------------------------------------
ππππππ ππ π:ππ: Fat Albert is still on the ground. The team must have had an event to attend after the show, as they usually leave within an hour after their show ends.
It is only about a 20-minute flight for the Blue Angels to be in our area from Montgomery. Our best guess on timing is currently between 5:20 and 6:20pm.
β-------------------------------------
ππππππ ππ π:ππ: The Blue Angels just completed their air show in Montgomery. They were a little late in starting at their scheduled time of 2:30pm.
Our updated forecast is that weβll see the Blues in our area between 4:50 and 5:50pm.
β-------------------------------------
π’ππ ππΉππ²π ππΉπ²πΏπ: The Blue Angels are flying in the Beyond the Horizon Air & Space Show in Montgomery this weekend. They are scheduled to fly at 2:30pm this afternoon. If they follow their normal routine, we can expect them in our area sometime between 4:45 and 5:45pm. We will be monitoring the chatter and update our timing guess if we get new information.
As always, we never know their flight plan or if they'll give us a Beach Buzz and if they do, what beaches theyβll buzz.
ππ¨ππ: Generally, the further east you are, the better chance you have to see the Blues. For the last several years, the Blues would primarily fly in from the east over Navarre, through Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key before making their final turn at Perdido Pass. Occasionally, they would go further west, as far as Gulf Shores, but that was rare. Last week they made their final turn at the Gulf State Park Pavilion, just east of the Gulf State Park Pier. We never know what to expect.
Thank everyone who's out watching for the Blue Angels from Navarre and Pensacola Beach for posting updates here in the comments when you see them coming. It's an enormous help!
We have future potential Beach Buzz days listed on our OBA Blues Calendar page.
