We’re just under seven months from this year’s Seafair airshow, but the stars of the show – the U.S. Navy Blue Angels – are sending one of their jets to Boeing Field tomorrow (Monday, January 13). The occasion: The winter meetings preparing for Seafair. The Blue Angels FA-18 jet #7 is expected to arrive 1:30-2:30 pm Monday; it’s the two-seater jet, and will be piloted by Navy Lt. Commander Lilly Montana and Marines Major Scott Laux. No public access but we’re mentioning it because you might see/hear the jet, given that tomorrow’s forecast is for partly clear skies.

I hate how LOUD these jets are. Last year I didn’t see them once but my windows were rattling and the house was shaking for days. No visual payoff and lots of annoyance!

Wah wah wah. Make an effort and go to Seafair next summer. You’ll get a great visual payoff!Personally – I love the sound. It’s the song of many thousands of men and women who have died so that you can have the freedom to whinge.

A beautiful sight and sound! Go Blue Angels!

More smoke and ash.

L O V E the sound of freedom.

How poetic.

Agree

Vee January 12, 2025 (8:12 pm)

They’re beautiful Sounds of freedom

GO NAVY 🇺🇲⚓💪

Don’t think any of the conflicts the US has used F-18s in were ever for the purpose of freedom. Reality is they make the sounds of resource extraction.

LOLLOLOL at anyone who voted for trump crowing about the “sound of freedom”….spare me.

Scarlett January 13, 2025 (11:11 am)

It’s the sounds of Eisenhower’s military industrial complex, not freedom. A “free” country knows the dangers of an entrenched military bureaucracy.

Question Authority January 13, 2025 (1:16 pm)

You are living in a free country because of an “entrenched military bureaucracy” that’s why no other county has rolled across our border and taken away your rights.

Sounds like that could have been a zoom meeting instead of two service members in a gas-guzzling aircraft coming in just to do some planning. Freedom doesn’t need to be wasteful.

Gay January 13, 2025 (5:54 pm)

It’s all so tired, and yes, a big waste. Reduntant and deplorable.

So, as written above “We’re just under seven months from this year’s Seafair airshow” so to the haters please start making your reservations now at your favorite vacation spot as to be out of town when the Hydro’s and the Blues give us their show. And just an FYI…Seafair has been going on here in Seattle for 75+ years.

Gay January 13, 2025 (5:52 pm)

The haters? How evolved.

Love the Blue Angels. And I didn’t vote for Trump. We exist.

Me and my granddaughter absolutely love the Blue Angels every time they come to Washington State she’ll sit outside all day everyday that they’re here to watch and listen for them or she will tell her papa papa let’s drive to the Blue Angels thanks for everything you guys do God bless love to see you soon
