Times:
Note: All of the rehearsals aren’t announced for the pre-show sessions, and in most years we can hear the planes out over the Bay a couple of days early. After one more online meeting I have to attend, I want to go out and look for them!
Blue Angels Rehearsal, Practice and Survey Flights — Usually on Thursday before the show, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Note: The Blue Angels Golden Gate Bridge rehearsal passes are legendary, and they annually rattle our windows here in Sausalito.
