Seen here is a F/A-18E Super Hornet of VFA-113 on static display at Aviation Nation 2019.

We had quite the surprise encounter with the Blue Angels this morning while birding near old Fort Pickens, which is directly across Pensacola Bay from the Naval Station, home to the Angels.

 

They normally practice their air shows on Tuesday and Wednesday, but did an unscheduled practice of a full air show this morning and we had a front row seat with no crowd.

 

My Canon RF200-800 lens did an excellent job of grabbing focus on these fast-moving F-18 Hornets. I had to do my job of getting on them quickly and keeping the lens moving. Stop for a nano second and they will be out of sight through your lens. If you have to look over the lens to relocate, they will be out of range.

 

You can't watch the Angels without being proud of your country and the men and women who serve. The Blue Angels not only inspire us as Americans, but are a symbol of freedom to the world.

This is part of a huge collection of pictures I took during a flying school trip From Ottawa, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia this past summer. A great learning opportunity for us new private pilots and instructors to fly to all these cool locations along the way and back. We took 3 Cessna 172s and one Beechcraft Duchess.

This is their last airshow before the squadron stands down in the fall of this year.
