Question about blue angels beach practice

dsar592 · 07-03-2009, 08:19 PM

I see where the blue angels are practicing at the p cola beach on the 9th and 10th. I have attended these before but I cant remmember what time the practice begins. At the base, they start around 8am but I didnt remember it being that early at the beach the last time I went. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Ken

Don't hold me to it but on Friday I believe they fly at 2pm. The other things start earlier.

Let me add a question to the question. I know Friday is full dress reherseal, with all participants. What about Thursday, is it the Blues only or do the other performers practice?

We are talking about going on Friday (or maybe Thursday) to avoid the expected crowds.

According to Buck Lee, on a show I was watching Sunday, the Blue Angles are the only ones flying on Thursday and that is only to set their GPS numbers and locate the CG cutter in position. Wont be much to see on Thursday.
