On Base, NAS Pensacola1. The Blue Angels will be practicing flight demonstrations Tuesday and Wednesday, 4/26/22 and 4/27/22. The museum opens their flight line behind the museum for best viewing. Practice starts at 10:30am and they fly for approximately 45 minutes. website: https://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/blueangels/ 2. Explore the famous Lighthouse and Museum of Pensacola, and experience vistas of Pensacola Beach unparalleled and unrivalled by any other vantage point. Climb the 177 steps to the top of the lighthouse and check out the impressive view of the Pensacola Pass (the point where Pensacola meets the Gulf of Mexico). Built in 1859, the lighthouse has been part of the Pensacola skyline for hundreds of years. A visit to the lighthouse also means a visit to the newly restored keeper’s quarters, built in 1869, which is now known as the Richard C Callaway Museum. This is a great place to get in some edu-fun activities, on your day. Admission is 7 USD for adults and 4 USD for kids, seniors and military. Operating hours are daily between 10.00am to 5.30pm. 3. National Museum of Naval Aviation. Pensacola has always been an important place for the military and for the aviation industry in the United States. This museum is dedicated to the history of aviation in America. National Naval Aviation Museum is a local landmark that showcases some of the best aircraft the U.S military has ever had, along with aircraft they still currently operate. Established in 1962, this museum near Naval Air Station Pensacola is home to 150 aircraft and spacecraft spanning the history of aircraft in the military, with models starting from the 1920s all the way to the modern age. If you’re interested in aviation or military history or even engineering, this museum will surely have what you’re looking for. Located across the street is a training center for piloting military aircraft.
4. Learn Florida state history at Fort Barrancas. Established in 1787, the fort was built by the first Spanish colonizers in the area as a means of defending the region. Fort Barrancas was built on a strategic hill overlooking the bay, and the area where the former gun batteries are located is still accessible to tourists. During the War of 1812, the historical fort saw action against the British Royal Navy in the Battle of Pensacola, with the results being an American victory. Today, the fort stands as a museum and has been designated a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
Off Base - Downtown Pensacola1. View modern masterpieces at Pensacola Museum of Art.
Founded in 1954 by a group of local women, Pensacola Museum of Art is a great place to spend the afternoon if you’re looking to get out of the sun for a bit and see some local art as well as some pieces from international artists. Visiting the art museum is another thing to do in Pensacola. It offers a place for artists to showcase their work on a rotating basis, and it also hosts plenty of activities for kids and families, from art classes to guided tours. Some permanent pieces in their collection include iconic and legendary artists like Dali, Picasso, and Calder.

Built back in 1907, T.T. Wentworth Jr Museum is located along South Jefferson Street and is part of Pensacola Historic District. It aims to bring local history to life, as it is dedicated to teaching both tourists and locals about the origins of the city. The museum was built in the Alamo mission style, which pays homage to Florida’s first Spanish settlements. It officially opened in 1988 and has always been an integral part of the city’s history. History buffs will have a grand time here for sure.

Very reluctantly, the Choir Executive Committee made the decision to cancel our participation for SF Fleet Week 2021. In the recent weeks, we lost about 1/3 of the originally committed participants due to Covid protocol changes and mask requirements in the San Francisco Bay area. This decision was not made lightly. We wanted so much to have a reunion this year after such a long wait, but circumstances that were out of our control have changed. Musically, the directors made the best decision they could. The committee thinks that with the world class performance venues like the Herbst Theatre and St Ignatius Chapel and the many vacation-type opportunities that our time and resources would be better spent in participating in the 2022 San Francisco Fleet Week. We hope you will be available to join us! |
Excitement is building as a result of news sources announcing the 2021 return of the U.S. Navy's Fleet Week Celebrations in San Francisco featuring the Blue Angels, the Naval Aviation Alumni Choir and a fleet of ships for the public to enjoy ship tours. The Choir will be there 6-10 October. |
