NAS Patuxent River – Air Expo ‘09
Blue Angels Featured at NAS Pax River Air Expo '09
NAS Pax River Air Show
Did you miss the 2009 Joint Services Open House Air Show at Andrews Air Force Base last weekend? Or did you go and get rained out??? No worries! The weather looks good this Memorial Day Weekend for the Air Expo ‘09.
It will take off May 23rd and May 24th as Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, hosts the Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, the Army’s Golden Knights, and the F-16 Viper East Coast Demo Team.
No advance tickets are required. Gates open at 9 a.m. The show will start at approximately 11:30 a.m. with the Army’s Parachute Team, the Golden Knights, followed by an exciting line-up of civilian and military performers.
Parking and admissions are FREE and Handicap parking is available.
According to the NAS Pax River Air Expo Website:
Those who have Department of Defense identification cards and DoD automobile decals, or DoD identification cards only, enter the Air Station through Gate 1. All others should enter the Air Station through Gate 2.
Keep in mind NAS Pax River is a Military installation. There are rules and restrictions you must follow. Before planning your trip this weekend, I suggest you read their FAQ’s – First Timers Brief, Tips and Seating Information (including safety and comfort), directions from Washington, DC, Northern and Southern Virginia, as well as their Schedule of Events. For questions or additional information email info@paxairexpo.org or call call 301-757-3976.
Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat for you and the kids, plenty of water, and ear protection!

I was driving home from Fredericksburg, VA and got to see a jet from the Andrews AFB Air Show doing its thang last weekend! I’ve been to many air shows over the years – and they never cease to leave me a little goose-bumpy and drop-jawed. Incredible! What a great opportunity for people in the area to experience !
Cool! On my run today, I saw the Blue Angels flying down the Patuxent River presumably headed to NAS Pax River for some practice for the Air Show this weekend.
Tell me what you're thinking...
