Prior to the world famous Blue Angels F/A 18 Hornet performances, the Blues’ C-130 Hercules transport known as “Fat Albert” will thrill the crowd with its short field take-off and low level passes.

Other military performers include the F/A Super Hornet Tactical Demonstration Team from the “Gladiators” of VFA-106, and an incredible mock fire power demonstration by an Air Force A-10 Warthog.

The Panhandle Parachute Demonstration team will make a jump above the show and Training Air Wing SIX will feature a fly-by of training aircraft.

Tentatively scheduled for both days will be extraordinary aerobatics by performers such as Jan Collmer flying the Fina Extra 300L, David Martin will pilot his Brietling CAP 232, and Skip Stewart will amaze the crowd in his highly modified Pitts S-25. Bob Carlton will maneuver his Super Salto jet sailplane overhead and Bill Leff will excite everyone with the roar of a radial engine in his T-6 Texan.

Otto the helicopter will amaze everyone with his antics and family-oriented entertainment and the Geico Skytypers will fly their six WWII vintage SNJ-2s as they deliver aerial messages to the crowd. Always a Pensacola favorite; Kent Shockley will have everyone standing as he roars down the runway in the 36,000 horsepower Shockwave Jet Truck.

Along with incredible flying demonstrations, more than 50 military and civilian aircraft will be on display. These static displays will include the EA-18G Growler,
a C-17 Globemaster, an A-26 Invader, an EA-6B Prowler and various other aircraft ranging from the present day, state of the art fighters to aircraft from the 1930s.
