It’s no secret that we are aviation enthusiasts, and the Cleveland National Airshow is the closest major aviation event to us, so we try to go each year. (It always falls on Labor Day weekend) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year was the Navy’s Blue Angels! Our oldest two have seen them fly when they were little, and then we had a period of time where we couldn’t make it to airshow, so the younger two had only seen the Blue Angels in the far distance over Milwaukee on our way to Oshkosh in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022 they were in Cleveland, but drizzle and low ceilings kept them from flying on the day we went. This year however, was perfect weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a sneak peek of some of the planes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
