Moana 2 - November 27

We saw The Blue Angels in IMAX on the 17th.  It's available on Prime now, though I doubt it will be quite as impactful.

After first seeing them when we lived in Honolulu in the '80's, we saw them at NAS Oceana last year.  We're taking our grandson to see them there this year. 

It's a free demonstration, but I highly recommend buying premium seating.

FWIW...these cats are unbelievable, but my favorite is the Air Force F22.  Watching it "back-up" in mid-air is pretty surreal...

which IMAX? Udvar-Hazy or an equivalent?

You might want to consider going to Pensacola FL in the spring when they are practicing multiple times per week. We took the kids a few years ago for spring break and saw them practice twice, once from a boat directly underneath their flight path. The other time was from the naval aviation museum grounds. We also saw the French equivalent to the Thunderbirds who were in town that week to prep for a joint show. About 10 years ago I was able to get into the VIP area to watch them perform at Andrews during the big air show. I was about 20' from the narrator, hanging out with the families on the front of the flight line.

IMAX down here in the Fashionable West End of Henrico County...

NAS Oceana is a helluva lot closer than Pensacola...though for the season ending performance in Pensacola this year, the Thunderbirds are going to join the Blue Angels.  Skippy already has that penciled-in.

They flew right over our beach hotel balcony last year during Friday's practice. We have Flightline VIP tickets that include drinks, an all you can eat buffet, and a tented area...it still get's pretty hot in late September.
