If you were anywhere near Idaho Falls over the weekend, you might have noticed that the skies were kind of busy. There's a really good reason for that. The US Navy's Blue Angels were performing and they were awesome.
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KLIX) – Remember when they came to Twin Falls? The Blue Angels are returning to Idaho this month – you’ll just have to travel a little farther to see them.
The Blue Angels are the premier US Navy and Marines demonstration squad. We've been fortunate to have them in Twin Falls twice. The first time was in 2008, then again in 2012.
A lot of people are planning on attending the Magic Valley Air Show this weekend, and a lot of people are planning on watching the airshow from the side of the road. I personally don't feel right about watching the airshow on the side of the road without buying a ticket.
I'm not sure if they're practicing, or just having a good time, but the Navy's Blue Angel team has buzzed the KEZJ Radio Ranch more times than I can count today. Several of their runs have rumbled the windows and sent employees spilling out on to the lawn trying to catch a glimpse of the jets.
Two of the Blue Angels actually buzzed one of our towers. Twice!
The world famous Blue Angels return to the Magic Valley July 28th & 29th, 2012 as part of the Magic Valley Air Show.
Not only does the Magic Valley Air Show feature the Blue Angels, but the U.S. Army Golden Knights, Tim Weber, Erickson Air, Pietsch Airshow, and more. The Air Magic Valley event in 2008 was a huge success, and a comprehensive photo gallery is available on the Magic Valley Air Sh
