I'm normally bowhunting in TOO at the time but this is great opportunity for anyone to experience. Might break away to come back for it.

The Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow – featuring the U.S. Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron (NFDS) The Blue Angels – is also scheduled to include the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds during this year’s Nov. 1 and 2 events.

“Having our military’s top flight demonstration teams perform at the ‘Cradle of Naval Aviation’ will undoubtedly be an experience you won’t want to miss!” said NAS Pensacola Commanding Officer Capt. Terry ‘Village’ Shashaty. “The Blue Angels and the Homecoming Airshow are most certainly ingrained in the identity of Pensacola and the surrounding communities, and we are proud to be able to host a family-friendly event showcasing the capabilities and precision of both the Navy and Air Force teams as well as our civilian performers!”

And sometimes the Beach Buzz is a little more Special! CH-47 formation on memorial day off the end Navarre Pier. My least favorite rotor wing to ride in. We get alot of Ft Nosovel and Ft Rucker rotor wing training flights, Eglin F-15C and E's (phasing out) F-22's, Hurlburt AC-130's, MC-130's, CV-22's...

'Merica any given day.

Gulf Red Snapper opened up 1 June, weekend wx was unsafe for a yak so this was the first day out, got a decent brace and broke in the new yak. Bigger one was almost 9#. Had to upgrade to the mesh seat for my old man back- got the Revo '22 new and 30% off.

Splitting the points between me and @Chancegriffis - always worse to be on the East side of these beasties. Afterword it might bring some much needed relief to parched sections East of the Mississippi, prolly flood some areas that need rain.

The pocket between Apalachicola and St Marks is a magnet for these things. Crawfordsville, Tally etc is gonna get smooshed.. again.

The cajun navy is assembling as well as the power and light crews. Let's cross the fingers, say a prayer....and prepare.

"Waiting on a hurricane is like being stalked by a turtle."

Lotsa machines in the sky today. All are sortieing the local wings to safe havens.

Macdill AFB
Tyndall AFB
Eglin AFB
Hurlburt AFB

Always impressive when the beasts move into the hot open Gulf.... by this evening it'll cover most of the GOM.

Meanwhile all of the Gulf Coast is waiting on this ill omen...

Cedar key is 8ft underwater as of now. Expecting another 6-8ft of surge.
