Blue Angels flyby watch from The Gulf. ✈️🌊

According to the OBA Blues Alert from Gulf Shores News and Orange Beach News, the Blue Angels are expected to return through our area this evening between 6–7 PM after their air show in St. Louis.

𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 @ 7:20 pm: The Blue Angels buzzed Palafox and Pensacola Beach, then west to around Perdido Pass in Orange Beach before making their last turn to land.
—-------------------------------------
𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 @ 6:21 pm: We have it on good authority that the Blue Angels will be in the vicinity around 6:45-7:15 pm.
—-------------------------------------
𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 @ 6:00 pm: Ernie has taken off from St. Louis, MO. It is about a 1½-hour flight for the Blue Angels once they’re airborne. This makes our estimated arrival time around 7:20ish.
—-------------------------------------
𝗢𝗕𝗔 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: The Blue Angels are flying home this evening after their air show in St. Louis, MO. We expect to see them in our area between 6:00 and 7:00. We will update this post if we receive additional information.

Once the Blues are in the area, watch the comments on this post for updates on sighting locations.

As always, we never know their flight plan, whether they'll give us a Beach Buzz, or, if they do, which beaches they’ll buzz. So far this year, they have made several final turns south of Turquoise Place, near Perdido Pass, and a little further west. Hopefully, they’ll continue this flight pattern on their return trips.

Thanks to 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 really helps.
