But the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, known for their precision flying and dynamic aerial maneuvers, will be at the show on Saturday, Oct. 25 and Sunday, Oct. 26, the City of Jacksonville announced Tuesday.
“The Sea & Sky Air Show will bring families, neighbors, and visitors together to experience an unforgettable display of skill and teamwork,” Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan said in a statement. “We are grateful to the Blue Angels for their service, for their role as ambassadors of goodwill, and for bringing the thrill and magic of naval flight back to our proud military community.”

Instead of returning to Jacksonville Beach, the Blue Angels opted to go to Punta Gorda for the Florida International Airshow on Saturday, Nov. 1 and Sunday, Nov. 2. That event is still on the Blue Angels’ schedule.
Originally, the weekend of Saturday, Oct. 25, and Sunday, Oct. 26, the Blue Angels were scheduled to go to the 2025 Chennault International Airshow in Lake Charles, La. That event has now been canceled, according to the organizers’ website.
