The Event Will Now Take Place At Pensacola Beach
Due to COVID safety precautions, the 2021 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show will now take place on Pensacola Beach instead of the NAS Pensacola base. The dates remain unchanged and will be taking place from November 5-6, 2021.
“This is a huge disappointment to us. Holding the Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show at NAS Pensacola is a long, proud, Pensacola tradition that is especially meaningful in this 75th anniversary year,” said Capt. Tim Kinsella, commanding officer of the base. “But, as I’ve said many times before, the links between this community and the military are incredibly strong. This airshow is important to the community, and I think in these times we probably need it more than ever.”
Visit Pensacola plans to use funds from the summer tourist season to help finance the event. “We couldn’t let the Blue Angels end their 75th anniversary season with a canceled hometown show,” said Darien Schaefer, President and CEO of Visit Pensacola.
The schedule is as follows:
- Wednesday, Nov. 3: Breakfast with the Blues for circles and arrivals
- Thursday, Nov. 4: Arrival Day and Dress Rehearsal
- Friday, Nov. 5: Homecoming Air Show Day 1
- Saturday, Nov. 6: Homecoming Air Show Day 2
“The SRIA jumped at the chance to be able to welcome home the Blues at the end of their 75th season on Pensacola Beach,” said Leigh Davis, Executive Director of the SRIA. “This is a win-win for the community and we look forward to hosting everyone on our beautiful beach come November.”
