On Friday, July 21, 2017, the Museum of Idaho will host members of the U.S Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team for a block party and autograph session. The one-hour event begins at 8:30 a.m., and features a behind-the-scenes video presentation, remarks by the team’s pilots and crew, and free donuts for the first 350 attendees.
The event is free of charge and open to the public.
During the block party, the public will have a unique opportunity to meet the pilots and crew members in person and hear about their experiences as naval aviators. The Blue Angels will also distribute souvenir materials and team pictures. Also planned is a live broadcast by the Z103 Morning Crew, and an air show ticket giveaway for several lucky fans.
Following the event, attendees are invited to explore the Museum of Idaho’s new exhibit Space: A Journey to our Future. The exhibit features interactive displays, state-of-the-art projection and audio technology, and real artifacts to bring the space experience to life.
The Blue Angels are the U.S. Navy's precision flying team and will headline the Idaho Falls Air Show alongside other world-class aerial performers. The show is scheduled for July 22 and 23, at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport. Tickets for the air show are $25 in advance for adults and $30 at the gate; $15 in advance for children ages 6-10 and $20 at the gate; free for children 5 and under; and free for active and reserve military with military identification.
