Five Haute Places to Watch the Blue Angels During Fleet Week
In case you haven't heard, Fleet Week is back and so are the US Navy Blue Angels. Last year, government cutbacks robbed us of this annual opportunity to pay tribute to the men and women of our nation's armed forces. Love them for the impressive thrills they provide or hate them for the noise they create. You can catch the Blue Angels practice Friday from 3 to 4 p.m. But the real show happens Saturday and Sunday when air shows take place from 12:30 to 3 p.m., followed by the Blue Angels from 3 to 4 p.m. Here are five haute places to enjoy the excitement.
