2027 air shows — Q&A

The questions fans ask most, answered from the published schedules.

When is the first air show of 2027?

The 2027 season opens on Saturday, March 13, 2027, with the Festival of Flight at NAF El Centro in El Centro, California — the Blue Angels’ first show of the year, at the field where the team spends winter training. The Yuma Airshow at MCAS Yuma, Arizona, flies the same day.

How many air shows are on the 2027 schedule?

TheAirshowCircuit lists 52 shows for 2027: all 32 stops on the Blue Angels’ published season, the Thunderbirds’ 18 preliminary dates, plus SUN ’n FUN (April 6–11, Lakeland, Florida) and EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (July 26–August 1, Oshkosh, Wisconsin).

Are the Thunderbirds’ 2027 dates final?

No. The Thunderbirds’ 2027 dates are preliminary — released at the December 2025 ICAS convention — and every Thunderbirds listing here is flagged “Preliminary date” because they can change. The Blue Angels’ dates are the season as published by the U.S. Navy. Either way, confirm dates and performers on the show’s official site before you travel.

How can I listen to tower audio and scanner frequencies on show day?

Open any show on this page: its live hub links the airfield’s tower feed on LiveATC, which carries volunteer receivers at most show fields, and lists the published scanner frequencies for the headlining team — for the Blue Angels, the show-box channel is 284.250 MHz, with the diamond on 275.350 and the solos on 237.800. Listening is legal and receive-only; never transmit on air show or ATC frequencies.

How do I get tickets?

Tickets, premium seating, and parking are sold by each show’s organizer, and every show page here links out to the official sources so you’re buying the real thing. Military-base shows are usually free with ID checks at the gate; beach shows are free from public sand and boardwalk areas.

I run an air show — how do I claim or correct my listing?

Claiming is free. Email organizers@theairshowcircuit.com with your show name, 2027 dates, venue, and official ticket link. We verify you’re the organizer, then your corrections — dates, performers, gate times, your photo — go on the listing. Featured placement and live-hub upgrades are in the media kit.

Sources & fine print

Always confirm dates, performers, and gate times on the show’s official site before you travel — military demonstrations can change or cancel at short notice for weather or maintenance. Listening to air show frequencies is receive-only; never transmit on them. TheAirshowCircuit is a prototype: listings are a snapshot as of November 2026.
