The National Naval Aviation Museum (NNAM) is giving aviation enthusiasts the chance to experience what it feels like to fly in formation with the world-famous U.S. Navy Blue Angels.
Opening to the public on Friday, May 29, the museum’s new “Fly with the Blues” interactive simulator places guests in a full-scale replica cockpit of an F/A-18 Super Hornet, where they will assume the role of Blue Angel #4 and fly in tight formation over Pensacola and Pensacola Beach. This is the only ride of its kind in the world.
Designed to deliver one of the most immersive aviation simulation experiences available to the public, Fly with the Blues features:
- A full-scale F/A-18 Super Hornet cockpit replica
- Three-axis motion simulation
- High-definition visuals that recreate the sights and sensations of flying in formation
- A commemorative photo opportunity to capture the experience
Guests will taxi, take off, and maneuver alongside the Blue Angels as they soar above some of the Gulf Coast’s most recognizable landmarks, offering a realistic perspective of the precision and teamwork required to fly as part of the Navy’s elite flight demonstration squadron…
