Does anyone know what time the Blues will be flying on March 13? I don't want to trek out there and miss it!

Thank you Eric. I'm probably heading out there Monday, March 1, so is the field nearby or is that in a completely different area?

I believe the road is known as "Low Rd." it's a road right next to the base, it's basically the hotspot for the winter practices. The best days to head out to that place right now are Thursday's thru Saturday's, those are the so-called "Over the Field Practices" this includes the AF Thunderbirds visiting, in general they practice over the field, other than that I don't know much about Monday, but from what I heard from its Thursday's thru Saturday's from what the PAO over at El Centro confirmed yesterday. Oh, and for times, I believe for each routine: Morning and Afternoon is 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. for the Blue's, for Thunderbirds I believe its shortly right after the Blue's land from each practice. other than that, there's not much to my knowledge I know what else about the Winter Training and the locations around it. If this answers your question.

Thank you Nick. Looks like maybe I'll be heading out there on Saturday now instead of Monday. I was hoping to avoid crowds!
