We were treated to a most spectacular Blue Angels air show held at the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola. They do these practices every Tuesday and Wednesday when they’re in town. It’s very different than seeing the shows in Annapolis during Commissioning Week since you sit in the airfield right by the runway and listen to the announcer describe what they’re doing before and during each maneuver. You can oftentimes hear them communicate with each other! This made it much easier to set up for some good photos! I even remembered to set my shutter speed to 1/2000 of a second.

We were so fortunate to be able to catch this show and to have the weather perfect for it, too! This kind of makes up for the fact that this is the first time that we will be missing the Annapolis show in 24 years!
