Save the day(s) and this space. Complete layout and information uploading.

Welcome to the 2017 Independence Day Air Show at Agrippa's CinSal Airport.
And welcome to the fifth air show of the SL USN Blue Angels 2017 Season.

The Air Show will start at 13:00 hours SLT on Monday, July 3rd, and Tuesday, July 4th.

Audience sites:
Agrippa - CinSal Airport - USE THIS SLUR!
MacDuff - USS Defiant - USE THIS SLUR!

Air Show regions:
Patrouille de France - Regan
Blue Angels - Hortensio - Regan

It is our privilege to fly for Second Life audiences all across the grid, demonstrating the precision techniques of naval aviation, hoping to inspire a culture of excellence and service. The maneuvers you will see demonstrated at Agrippa are coordinated tactical techniques developed by navy and marine corps pilots in both peace time training and actual combat. These maneuvers are neither stunts nor daring feats but are refinements of basic techniques taught to every prospective naval aviator. At CinSal Airport we will demonstrate these maneuvers at very low altitude in traditional Blue Angels formation so that you may see and take pride in the precise fashion in which your navy and marine pilots are trained to fly.

Audience areas are on the Southeast corner of Agrippa, CinSal Airport (20 seats) and on MacDuff sim on a USN Third Fleet frigate, the USS Defiant (36 seats). Please stay out of the circuit sims described in the show layout below. If you choose to watch the show from a private vessel at sea, proceed to one of the neighboring sims. Local airport personnel and Liberty Fire Department personnel will be on hand to help you find the best seat from where to watch the show. They will have landmarks and other information available on site.

The ID4 2017 Air Show celebrates the Independence Day in the United States and the SL United States Navy Flight Demonstration Team Blue Angels take to the skies for the second year for this momentous occasion. We are honored this year by the presence of the French Armée de l'Air aerobatic squadron Patrouille de France (PAF), mirroring the 2017 American Tour the real life French team performed this year between March 19 and May 4th. The PAFsl flies Dassault-Dornier Alphajet E and this year they sport the 2017 American Tour color scheme. The Blue Angels fly the vintage Grumman F9F-6 Cougar single seat and the Grumman F9F-8T dual seat (numbers 7 and 8). For this occasion, both teams are bringing four aircraft each. Here are the selected pilots from both squadrons:

SL Armée de l'Air Patrouille de France
Athos 1 - Lcl. Paterne Lefavre (Leader)
Athos 2 - Col. Rhea Thor (Intérieur Droit) (Pafsl Group Leader)
