The Blue Angels are back in town for Seafair 2024!
When they are in the air, you won’t be able to avoid hearing the deafening jet engines of these seven planes flying overhead as the U.S. Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron perform their acrobatic stunts, maneuvers, and formations over Lake Washington.
This year’s Boeing Seafair Air Show will feature demonstrations from the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, U.S. Army Golden Knights, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Air Force, and more, with dizzying aerobatics done by a variety of military and civilian teams.
You may want to get pets inside and warn the kids about the terrifying noise or get to a vantage point where you can watch the jets (or leave town to avoid the whole thing). Here is the practice schedule for Thursday, August 1, 2024, and the Blue Angels air show performance schedule for the Airshows on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 2 – 4, 2024.
Be sure to keep an eye out on the Seafair website for any changes to the schedule.
