Yes. I heard about it. EVERYBODY was asking us if we had heard about this stupid billboard by these whackos in Seattle protesting the US Navy's Blue Angels.

For those of you who missed it, Fox News had this headline:

Climate activists demand end to US Navy's 'Blue Angels' airshow in Seattle

Thankfully Montana is NOT like Seattle.

To me, this was a small group of Left wing whackos desperate for attention. However, I would say that Seattle has definitely gone off the deep end. I remember stopping through Seattle during a layover on the way back from Cowboy Christmas in Las Vegas and they straight up required vaccine passports just to sit at a lunch counter in Seattle (NUTS!).

I know that when the Blue Angels were in Montana back in 2023, they were VERY appreciative of how much widespread support they received from the entire community.

And all I know is this: Summer 2026....America's 250th...the US Navy's Blue Angels are coming back to Montana...and I couldn't be more excited. (I had the incredible honor of being one of just two media folks to get a chance to fly with the Blue Angels)

When I shared that above update on Facebook, someone asked "why Billings?" Here's what I replied: "two guys with an idea made it happen in 2023. The Blue Angels had such an incredible time and were treated so well...they're coming back again...just 3 years later! Great q"
