A little time to kill, I thought I would post the 2024 practice schedule. The practices are held at NAS Pensacola. Gates on scheduled days open at 0930 and T.O. time is 1030 CST. A gov ID was required in prior years to get in. It may have been dropped by now. Check the Facebook page. The 2024 shows are there also.

March 28 & 29.
April 4&5, 11&12, 18&19, 25&26.
May 2&3, 9&10, 16&17, 31.
June 6&7, 13&14, 20&21, 27&28
July 11&12, 25&26 (A major airshow is scheduled for July on Pensacola Beach.)
Aug 1, 16, 22&23, 29
Sept 6, 12, 19
Oct 18, 24&25

Best place to park and watch is the rear of the Museum parking lot. The team usually sign autographs at the museum front door under the Tomcat. Catch lunch inside.

I had the good fortune of flying by during a practice session a few years back. Tower asked me to stay about 5 miles north. Still close enough to get a decent view. Not a great pic as was shot with a phone, but you can see the smoke trails from a reverse cuban 8.

Is that smoke trails or angel dust? :rockon:
 
Local authorities are having a fit over the auto traffic jams at the back entrance to the NAS on practice mornings. This is a new thing for this year. Said to be epic.
