Performers, Aircraft, Displays:

Can you give me a schedule of performers?

We have a list of performers (please see the Performers page) but not a schedule of acts since specific schedules are finalized much closer to the event, depending on various conditions.

Will the schedule be the same both days?

Yes – performers are scheduled to perform both days. However, there may be small variations in the exact sequence of performers from one day to the next. The USAF Thunderbirds will always be the final performance each day.

Do I need earplugs?

Several performances will feature jet noise, as well as pyrotechnic effects such as simulated bomb bursts. Ear protection for children and those sensitive to loud noise is a good idea. Foam earplugs will be offered free of charge at all medical assistance tents.

What is a static display?

A static display is an aircraft that is on display inside the spectator area. It is not an aircraft that is flying but is available for photos, viewing and to meet the aircrew. This is a wonderful opportunity to get up close to the aircraft you have only viewed in photos or from a distance.

Do you have a children’s area?

Yes – it will consist of airshow-themed bounce houses, slides, a sling-shot jump, and other amusements.

Will the show be televised?

No.

Is there shade?

The Air Show is held under the open sky. Shade can be found in some of the aircraft hangars in the ANG Base area, as well as under the wings of static display aircraft. Patrons are encouraged to plan accordingly with umbrellas, sunglasses, lotion and hats.

What happens if it rains?

The show will go on- rain or shine- to the maximum capability of each individual performer. Each requires different levels of ceiling, visibility, etc. ...so even with periods of bad weather we will make every effort to arrange the sequence of performers to allow the very best show we can put up.

How do I get a media pass for the show?

You can request a media pass by going to the Media page. The request should include information about the publication or media outlet you work for. These requests will be sent to the ANG Public Affairs office for approval for a media pass.
