Absolutely worth a visit. If you're vacationing in the area and need a rainy day activity, or you need to get the kids out of the sun, this is a great option. Can't beat the price (free). I always thought this would be a collection of dusty, musty, and rusty scattered around an old hanger.
I was completely wrong. A sparkling collection in an enormous modern facility. Not just aircraft on display. Great for history buffs.
As an Army veteran I hate to admit that the Navy has done a fantastic job here
The Blue Angels never disappoint. Truth be told I could probably watch them taxing on a runway or flying in a circle and I would be ok with this. The weather was overcast with light drizzle. The ceiling must have been at least 1500 feet or they would not fly. They changed runways for takeoff and landing and were practicing orienting to new surroundings. They have an upcoming air show at a new airfield. We really enjoyed the practice. Where else can you watch America’s Greatness on display.
Pensacola Naval Air Station or "Pensacola" as it is known, is the home of the Blue Angles and the National Naval Aviation Museum. The museum features 150 aircraft and spacecraft plus simulators and an iMax theater. Come see the Blue Angels practice, check out the simulators, and see the exhibits. This is a great experience.
There is often a practice airshow on Fridays from spring through fall that is often open to the public. Check ahead as schedules frequently change.
Final note is that this is a real, working air station. This review is only about the two parts most open to the public.
We visited the NAS Pensacola just a few weeks ago, and we truly enjoyed our visit to this northern Florida military base. Obviously, visitors generally must have a valid military identification card to get on the Naval base. Since we are a retired military family, we visit the NAS Pensacola base in Pensacola, Florida two-three times a year. All of the facilities are highly maintained and the base is always very clean.
Dont miss this! Free viewing of the amazing Blue Angels. Check the practice schedule and get there early to get a seat up on the bleachers for best views. Then check out the museum. A real treat for any aviation fan.
The museum and the Blue Angels show was fantastic! I always visit when I go through Pensacola
Very polite servicemen working here at the airshow. Lots of good food lots of good direction for parking and getting out, overall very proud to be an American, and very proud of our United States Navy
Went to visit Fort Barrancas on the base what a surprise. A Bastion on the Bluffs
overlooking the entrance to Pensacola Bay. Fort Barrancas stands as a monument to the legacy of America’s early homeland defense. Built with 6 million bricks, on the backs of slaves with walls 4 feet thick and 20 feet high, Fort Barrancas was completed in 1844 and remains an example of military engineering and a marvel of human ingenuity. This is a site not to be missed right now the base is open to DoD and VIHA card holders but could open again soon to the general public.
