Cougars' Blake Run

[ Updated 2017/12/16 ]

The Blue Angels 2017 Season comes to a close with a last and very special performance over the Blake Sea. The squadron will fly between Nautilus City and Second Norway via Crows Nest and back a few times, giving all our friends and the global Second Life community a chance to see the unique blue, white and gold Grumman F9F Cougars one last time as front line team jets. For the next season, the Blue Angels are being equipped with the new Boeing F/A-18C and F/A-18D Hornets, and the Cougars will become part of history, to be used on heritage flights only.

So grab your cameras, pack some lunch and cool drinks and head on to the Blake Sea this Saturday, December 16, between 11:00 and 13:00 hours SLT (11 am to 1 pm). The Blues will be using the corridor between Hassti and Snug Sea, and will fly over Crows Nest's lighthouse a number of times in traditional diamond or delta tight formation. Please enjoy the show and remember to stay clear of the flight path, especially if you choose to watch from your boat!

Mistell, QB, Cougar, Hawk, BamBam and Speed at SNO.

The Blues will take off from SNO International, perform the run and return to land there. The starting and finish point will be on the South apron, to the right of the landing runway, if you'd like to come say high before or after the run. Third Fleet will deploy a surface vessel with seats available on the waters near Crows Nest. The SLUR to that location will be posted in the usual SL Aviation news outlets and groups. Thank you all for a great ride this year. It is our privilege to perform for you again as we celebrate two years of Cougars with the Blue Angels.
See you at Crows Nest!
