JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — The Blue Angels, the Naval aviation's finest pilots, will perform at the Sea & Sky Air Show 2023 this weekend. Pilots will fly the F/A-18 Super Hornet and the C-130J Super Hercule, also known as "Fat Albert."
The event is free to the public and will take place at Jacksonville Beach. To pilots like Commander Jason "Savy" Surowiec, who operates helicopters, he describes the performance as "exhilarating and heart pounding."
"We'll also have a really cool Coast Guard search and rescue demonstration, a small boat demonstration and then as well as one of our aircraft from NAS JAX, a P-8," Savy said. "You're probably going to see thousands for this event."
The Sea & Sky Air Show will be held on Saturday, Oct. 21 and Sunday, Oct. 22 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Blue Angels are expected to perform over the ocean. The address to the free event is 75 1st St. North. Shuttle passes are available for purchase online. Passes will ensure showing up to the show without paying for parking. Ticket sales will end soon.
