Next stops for the Blues

The Blues won’t be back in Alabama again during their 2024 flight schedule—and Alabama’s not on their books for 2025, either.

You can catch the Blues in action on Pensacola Beach, July 10-13, for the Pensacola Beach Airshow. It’s not technically in Alabama—but it’s within a day’s drive for our Coastal Alabama friends.
