GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — The U.S. Navy Blue Angels will headline the Grand Junction Air Show this weekend in their first appearance in Colorado in two years.
The team will fly on Saturday and Sunday at the Grand Junction Regional Airport in western Colorado.
Organizers said gates will open at 9 a.m. each day with flying beginning at 11 a.m. The main event is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The Blue Angels last appeared in Colorado at the Great Colorado Air Show in Loveland in October 2021.
