The Museum’s annual Jet Blast Bash flightline festival is Seattle’s closest seat to the Blue Angels’ thunderous takeoffs and landings for the Boeing Seafair Airshow Aug. 5-6. Jet Blast Bash is also the Museum’s biggest and most popular outdoor family festival, offering live music by The Afterparty Band and C89.5 DJs, food trucks, a beer garden, dozens of family activities, plus a Blue Angels jet and three World War II aircraft that will be in the airshow.
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels pilots will be at the festival to greet the visitors and sign autographs following their performance in the Airshow on Sunday.
Jet Blast Bash will be Aug. 5-6, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and all activities are included with Museum admission (required). A detailed schedule is on the Museum website, while airshow details and schedule are online with Seafair.
As an official partner of the Boeing Seafair Air Show, the following air show aircraft will be hosted in our parking lot:
PBY Catalina Flying Boat, Princess of the Stars
Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Sentimental Journey (as part of the Flying Legends of Victory Tour)
Boeing B-25 Mitchell Maid in the Shade (as part of the Flying Legends of Victory Tour)
U.S. Navy Blue Angel #8 (outside fenceline)
In addition to all the aviation action, we'll have a huge amount of Art+Flight-themed family activities including: live painting, Seattle Art Cars, crafting activities, chalk art, face painting and more!
Jet Blast Bash activities are included with Museum admission.
