U.S. NAVY BLUE ANGELS   --  I-90 Bridge Closures for Blue Angels' flights

Don't miss the familiar roar of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels at Seafair Weekend in 2016! These Boeing F/A-18 aircrafts will race overhead at speeds approaching 700 mph. The Blues will perform aerobatic and low-flying maneuvers as Seattleites look on in awe from the shores of Lake Washington. The team amazes spectators with mentally and physically demanding maneuvers such as vertical rolls performed by the Opposing Solo and the Sneak Pass performed by the Lead Solo.

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels participated in their first air show in 1946 and since have performed for an estimated 11 million spectators during air shows each year. The mission of the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron is to showcase the pride and professionalism of the United States Navy and Marine Corps by inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country through demonstrations and community outreach.

NOTE: Due to mechanical problems, the support aircraft known as Fat Albert will not be appearing at Seafair.

SEAN D. TUCKER & TEAM ORACLE

Taking audiences to the edges of their seats and limits of their imaginations, Sean D. Tucker and Oracle Challenger III dance across the sky, delighting millions of air show fans each year. More than half of Tucker’s Sky Dance maneuvers are unique and have never been duplicated by other pilots.

For a thrilling 13 minutes Tucker expertly performs one-of-a-kind and precision maneuvers with curious names such as Centrifuge, Double Hammerhead, Alley Oop, Forward Flip, Harrier Pass and the Triple Ribbon Cut. Sometimes flying backwards – straight down, tail first – other times catapulting across the skies then descending in a controlled “tumble,” the Sky Dance performance is among the best in the world. During the Sky Dance, Tucker will pull more than nine positive g-forces and more than seven negative g-forces.
