Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow Is Friday, Saturday
November 1, 2024
The Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow – featuring the U.S. Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron (NFDS) The Blue Angels and the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Air Demonstration Squadron The Thunderbirds – is Friday and Saturday.
The homecoming air show has been a mainstay in the area, one of the largest annual events in Florida’s Panhandle, drawing more than 250,000 spectators over two days. The Blue Angels’ annual schedule culminates with the NAS Pensacola Homecoming Airshow, the last of the season for the squadron.

Themed *Celebrating One Small Step*, the 2024 NAS Pensacola Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow will celebrate the 55th anniversary of one of the most significant events in aviation history, the July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 mission’s lunar landing.
“We’re excited to welcome the Blue Angels home with what’s going to be one of the greatest airshows the base has held,” said NAS Pensacola Air Operations Officer and Airshow Director Lt. Cmdr. David Padgett. “The performers and static displays are top-notch, and we have several surprises in store centered around the 55th anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic lunar landing. This will be a remarkable experience for the thousands of visitors to our great air station as we *Celebrate One Small Step*.”
In addition to the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, premiere aviation and aerobatic acts will be part of this year’s attractions.
The Apollo 11 mission, during which former Navy pilot Lt.j.g. Neil Armstrong became the first individual to set foot on Earth’s moon, became synonymous with Armstrong’s first words on the moon’s surface: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
In a tribute to those famous words, the NAS Pensacola 2024 Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow will be *Celebrating One Small Step*, a tribute to the intrepid spirit of the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces as well as NASA’s commitment to making air and space accessible to everyone, for the benefit of all.
Additionally, the NAS Pensacola logo was redesigned for the airshow, featuring J. Gosling – the installation mascot – breaching the atmosphere with stars and the moon visible in the background.
Numerous static displays are expected.
NAS Pensacola, referred to as the “Cradle of Naval Aviation,” is designed to support operational and training missions of tenant commands, including the Naval Aviation Technical Training Center (NATTC), Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC), the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT), Marine Aviation Training Support Groups (MATSG) 21 and 23, and serves as the headquarters for Naval Education and Training Command (NETC).

Two Veterans Work To Clean Up Town Of Century’s Neglected Veterans Wall Of Honor
October 29, 2024
UPDATE: We are told the Town of Century began power washing the memorial Tuesday afternoon.
Two North Escambia veterans worked to clean up the Veterans Wall of Honor in Century Monday after seeing how the Town of Century had neglected upkeep.
Sunday morning, NorthEscambia.com published a story about a veterans’ motorcycle club that held a small ceremony Saturday morning in Century to honor those missing in action and that have given their lives for this county.
Viet Nam & Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club member Kris Fleming, who spoke at the Saturday event, returned Monday morning to trim the grass and edge around the wall. Craig Stephens, a retired Marine Corp officer went by and washed the wall.
The “before” picture is above, and the “after” is below.
“Still not the greatest, but better than before,” Stephens wrote on our Facebook page Monday afternoon. ”Best I could do without a water source at the park. If anyone knows of a portable pressure washer who would volunteer some time to clean the rest of the brick and the concrete floor.”
Both veterans said they would follow up with the town about the poor state of the wall, and work to replace name plaques that are broken and missing (pictured below).
The veterans wall of honor was dedicated by the Town of Century on July 2, 2008, at the then Roadside Park, now known as Nadine McCaw Park, on North Century Boulevard at Hecker Road. The town’s latest budget (pictured bottom) does not show any money allocation to maintain the monument.
