Off season Blue Angels practice

[scottcolbath]

I saw on a TV show a long time ago, that people can go out to NAF El Centro and watch the Blue Angels practice during their off season.

Anyone know about this? I saw nothing which indicates that on the relates websites.

There's a lot of outside-the-fence viewing when the Blues are practicing, but a few groups also arrange for on-base access to observe a BA practice session.  We're working with the PAO to set up another AzAP visit in February for this very purpose, hopefully we'll have something nailed down after the new year.
