New Orleans Air Show returns this weekend for 1st time since 2011

We like to share information on cool and free events in the metropolitan New Orleans area.


We welcome back the U.S. Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration   Team flying six F/A-18 Hornets and the C-130 Hercules named Fat   Albert. This stunning high performance demonstration showcases       the velocity of the aircraft and precision of the pilots and crew.
The Blue Angels flight demonstration team is more than just a group of individuals; brought together to represent the United States Navy and Marine Corps. This team combines the best and brightest, at the top of their craft. Their camaraderie and chemistry assure the team mission is more than just a job – it’s a passion!
During their aerobatic demonstration, the Blues fly six F/A-18 Hornet aircraft, split into the Diamond Formation (Blue Angels 1 through 4) and the Lead and Opposing Solos (Blue Angels 5 and 6). Most of the show alternates between maneuvers performed by the Diamond Formation and those performed by the Solos. integrated avionics, coupled with improved supportability, represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities.
