We are calculating that the Delta Formation will return to Pensacola between 6:30 PM - 7:15 PM tonight. It is highly likely that there will not be a buzz tonight due to a lack of available light. With this being said, we will keep an ear to the scanner and report our findings here. Refresh the post for the latest information.
UPDATES WILL APPEAR HERE:
12:00 PM: Bookmark this post and click refresh!
3:27 PM: The demo has begun at EFD!
4:12 PM: We can reasonably assume the demo has concluded at EFD!
5:44 PM: The Delta is taxiing at EFD!
5:52 PM: Fat Albert is taxiing at EFD!
5:57 PM: The Delta has departed EFD!
6:02 PM: Fat Albert has departed EFD!
6:31 PM: Chatter in West Pensacola!
6:43 PM: The Delta is preparing for landing at NPA. No beach buzz!
6:56 PM: The Delta has landed at NPA!
7:05 PM: Fat Albert is currently over Mississippi!
7:21 PM: Fat Albert is preparing for landing at NPA!
7:25 PM: Fat Albert has landed at NPA!

The Blue Angels have safely arrived in Pensacola for the last time this season 💙💛

Beach Buzzes are the term given to the Delta Formation flying from east-to-west low and slow with smoke-on, as the Blue Angels are returning from an out-of-town air show!
Locations for Buzzes are NEVER guaranteed and are decided by the boss ( #1) in-flight! Your best bet to view this is Pensacola Beach, by the pier/beachball water tower.
Navarre Beach, FL routinely gets Buzzed each week.
Orange Beach & Gulf Shores, AL seldom gets lucky and it’s not for certain.
Stay tuned to THIS POST! Peyton “Radar” Burnett has our backs as she tracks the return time. She will give you our best PREDICTION vs. GUESS so that you have time to get to your favorite viewing spot.
Don't forget that WEDNESDAY there is a "scheduled" Beach Buzz with both the Blue Angels and the USAF Thunderbirds forming a 12-plane "Super Delta". For more details on that, please review our post:

SUNDAY OCTOBER 20, 2024, Here is this week’s weekly planner:
We are expecting to have a Beach Buzz tonight! Look for the 12pm post today about that, it will be updated in realtime.
The team will be returning from Jacksonville, Florida this evening. Beach Buzzes are not guaranteed, and locations are never known! Your best bet to catch one of these buzzes is the Casino Beach area near the beach ball water tower at Pensacola Beach. We expect tonight’s buzz between 4:15pm and 5:00pm. Arrive to the Pensacola Beach area by 4:00pm.
There are scheduled practices this week on Tuesday and Wednesday!
For detailed information about all Pensacola-Area Blue Angels activity, visit our photo albums: facebook.com/BlueAngelsPracticeInfo/photos_albums
In the “Practice Information” photo album, you’ll find the latest schedule and watch-locations. Watching the practice sessions from on-base behind the National Naval Aviation Museum is the best front stage view. Please make sure to review the attached graphic about accessing the base through the West Gate as well as having a state-issued photo ID for anyone vehicle occupants that are 18 and over. Note: The base relaxed their real ID requirement and accept drivers licenses from all 50 states. You must be a U.S. citizen or be escorted by someone who is.
Tune-in here the day of each practice. We make a status post at 7:30am central time that we update in real-time when there are delays, cancellations, and when they take-off and land.

🐢Sea Turtle nesting season continues through October! As we move toward the end of the of the season be on the lookout for hatchlings as you visit the beaches!

It is hurricane season and we tend to get wash backs on our shoreline. If you find a hatchling please do not put it back in the water. Please call it in so it can get the help it needs. More than likely it is exhausted. (850) 426-1257🐢 #️⃣

Protecting sea turtles and their nests should always be more of a priority than seeing them. Every summer, volunteers find, mark, and track nests while raising awareness of the importance of protecting the threatened and the endangered Sea Turtle.

The easiest way to do your part is to tidy up after your day at the beach, fill in any holes you might’ve dug, and to remember “lights out!”
