With more than 20 performers to include the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, spectators had plenty of sky filled entertainment for the weekend. “We come every year and we never get tired of it,” said Emily Chase. “There are just so many talented performers and of course we love the Blue Angels. This is also a great way to come out and support our military.” There were also over 24 different ground activities for people to partake in such as a rock climbing wall, food, booths and games. “There were so many great things this year and we went by the care package booth to learn how to send packages to our hero’s overseas,” said Clarence Townsend. “My wife and I also really enjoyed the Vietnam Memorial Wall.” People viewing the air show were not the only ones that enjoyed themselves, members of the Blue Angels said they really enjoy coming to Jacksonville and with good reason. “It’s just an awesome show for us.
