NAS JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Two members of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will arrive at Naval Air Station Jacksonville on Wednesday morning to discuss next year\u2019s air show.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s pre-season air show visit will come almost two months after the Navy\u2019s elite flight demonstration team had to cancel their performance at the 2025 Sea & Sky Air Show in Jacksonville Beach because of the government shutdown.<\/p>\n

Watching the Blue Angels perform has become a tradition in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re scheduled to headline the NAS JAX Air Show in October, which will mark the team\u2019s 71st anniversary of performing at this event.<\/p>\n

Last October, the Blue Angels were supposed to fly at the Sea & Sky Air Show in Jacksonville Beach, but the team canceled that appearance\u2014along with several others nationwide\u2014due to the federal government shutdown.<\/p>\n

The city announced the cancellation the day before the event, which also impacted other military performers like the Viper Demo Team.<\/p>\n

Organizers added civilian acts, including The Chuters parachute team, to keep the show going.<\/p>\n

Last week, the City of Jacksonville\u2019s Office of Sports & Entertainment, working with Naval Station Mayport and the City of Jacksonville Beach, announced the Jacksonville Sea & Sky Air Show will return in 2027, and will also include an appearance by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.<\/p>\n

The 2027 national air show calendar was released at the International Council of Air Shows in Las Vegas. The Sea & Sky event will take place along the coastline of Jacksonville Beach and will feature a mix of military and civilian performers.<\/p>\n
