PHOENIX — The Blue Angels, a Navy flight demonstration squad, came together over the weekend for the Luke Days air show at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

Despite a small setback this year — the date of the event had to be pushed back by a week — the air show went smoothly.

Following the air show, Luke Air Force Base posted to their Facebook, thanking those who attended. 

“We hope you enjoyed Luke Days 2018 as much as we did!” the post read. “Thank you for joining us, we couldn’t have done it without the support of our Thunderbolts and the community.”

If you have some time on your hands and want to watch the air show in full, you can check out LiveAirShowTV’s videos that they posted from each day. There was over 6 hours of footage available on their Facebook page.

If you missed the event and you just want to see a few highlights, you’re in luck. There were tons of YouTube videos taken from spectators’ perspectives that show some of the coolest stunts.

You can check them out below.

We want to hear from you.
