The Blue Angels' 2024 air show season is almost over. Where can you watch October?

The Blue Angels are gearing up to conclude the 2024 air show season, preparing to headline the final four shows before the team's Homecoming Air Show in Pensacola, Florida.

In October, the team travels to the National Championship Air Races and Air Show in Nevada, San Francisco Fleet Week in California, the NAS Jacksonville Air Show in Florida and the Wings Over Houston Air Show in Texas.

The Blue Angels return to Pensacola for one final show of the year. The team will take a nearly two-month break before traveling to Naval Air Facility El Centro, California, to begin winter training.

The 2025 Blue Angels Air Show season begins March 15 at the NAF El Centro Festival of Flight in California.

Here you can see the Blue Angels in October.

For a week, hundreds of aircraft, pilots and crew members leave Reno for their homeland to prepare for seven classes of racing, host a large exhibition of stationary aircraft and hold military and civilian flying displays such as the Blue Angels.

General admission for the National Championship Air Races and Air Show is $50, but you can still purchase it at a discounted rate of $30.
