Pensacola Bay Area Official Blog: Just in time for the Red, White and Blue from VisitPensacola
Every year the Blue Angels, officially known as the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, perform for crowds across the country. We are lucky to have the Blue Angels call the Pensacola Bay Area their home, where we get to see them officially perform two times a year and practice most every week.
The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and the Blues are gearing up for their big air show on July 11 on Pensacola Beach. If you can't make it out for the impressive show, you're still in luck. The Blue Angels practice at NAS Pensacola from March through November. You can even meet the pilots and get their autographs.

Missing for 50 years - US nuclear bomb from Military Photos by Proudgrandson
Colonel Howard Richardson ditched the bomb off Tybee Island
More than 50 years after a 7,600lb (3,500kg) nuclear bomb was dropped in US waters following a mid-air military collision, the question of whether the missing weapon still poses a threat remains.
In his own mind, retired 87-year-old Colonel Howard Richardson is a hero responsible for one of the most extraordinary displays of aeronautic skill in the history of the US Air Force.
His view carries a lot of weight and he has a large number of supporters - including the Air Force itself which honoured his feat with a Distinguished Flying Cross.
But to others, he is little short of a villain: the man who 50 years ago dropped a nuclear bomb in US waters, a bomb nobody has been able to find and make safe. ...

Movie Monday - June 22 - Retro First Flight Marketing from FlightBlogger
Forty years ago, Boeing's marketing team was hard at work making film reels to promote the first flight of the "747 Superjet" for program managers. Forty years later, the 787 Milestones site set up by Boeing is merely the latest [public] evolution of sharing the progress of developing a new jetliner with the world. What follows is a two-part 15-minute movie produced by Boeing communications taking you through the assembly, testing and first flight of RA001. Note the original PTQ for the 747.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Enjoy!
