The Blue Angels are back in Jacksonville for this weekend’s 2024 Jacksonville Air Show , one of the squadron’s final three shows of the season.
For fans of the Blue Angels, this weekend’s performances will be the last in Jacksonville — the birthplace of Blue Angels — until 2026. That’s because the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron did not include next year’s Jacksonville’s Sea & Sky Air Show , which alternates with the NAS Jax Air Show, on their 2025 schedule . (As a result, organizers canceled the 2025 air show at Jacksonville Beach.)
After arriving in Jacksonville on Thursday, the Blue Angels will practice on Friday. Even though the access to NAS Jacksonville is only open to those with base access, their guests and local students, fans can get a glimpse of the Blue Angels in the skies across Jacksonville.
