“We want to personally thank our wounded warriors, veterans and military families at this year’s air show. We take great pride in the men and women who fight our country’s battles and the families who support them. This is also our single-greatest opportunity to open our doors to you, our neighbors, and welcome you to our flight line,” said Farnam.

As the largest military air show in the nation, the show features military and civilian performers and static aircraft displays from around the world. Headlining this year’s show is the U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstration team. Other notable attractions include the Marine Air-Ground Task Force demonstration, the F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, the Patriots Jet Team and the Breitling Jet Team for their first U.S. tour.
