If you were prepping to see the Blue Angels practice May 27, you’ll have to wait at least another day after the base announced the team’s practice is canceled.
Naval Air Station Pensacola released an update Tuesday morning from the National Naval Aviation Museum (NNAM), saying the scheduled practice has been canceled, but the team expects to practice May 28.
The News Journal reached out to the Blue Angels and the NNAM for comment regarding the circumstances for the cancelation but did not immediately receive a response.
Where can I see the Blue Angels practice?
The Blues practice onboard NAS Pensacola, and the viewing area is located on the Museum Flight Line north of the museum. Signs will be posted to direct visitors to the viewing and parking locations.
Open bleacher seating is available for 500 people, along with a limited quantity of chairs that are available for a $6 fee per chair.

On each practice day, NAS Pensacola’s West Gate on Blue Angel Parkway will be open for public access at 9 a.m. Gates to the flight line will open at 9:30 a.m., and the Blues will begin practice at 10:30 a.m.
The National Naval Aviation Museum says times are subject to change and recommend calling the museum before planning the trip.
