Portsmouth, New Hampshire: First Blue Angel set to roar into city on Tuesday

PORTSMOUTH — Aviation enthusiasts should expect some activity in the skies overhead Tuesday, June 26, as the early arrival of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels is sure to make some noise over the Seacoast. 

According to airport manager Bill Hopper, Blue Angel 7 will arrive at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease around 5 p.m. Tuesday. The visit comes only days before the Service Credit Union Boston-Portsmouth Air Show, scheduled for June 30-July 1.

The exact arrival time of the first Angel is not set in stone, said Hopper, calling it a "moving target."

Blue Angel 7 Lt. Mark Tedrow of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, serves as the narrator for the team during flight demonstrations. Tedrow arrived in Portsmouth in late November aboard an F/A-18 Hornet to build interest in the upcoming air show.

The entire team is expected to arrive Wednesday, June 27.
