MIDLAND, TX — The 32nd annual AIRSHO is making its return flight to Midland International Air & Space Port on Sept. 9-10, and tickets are available – and also at a reduced price.
Hosted by the Commemorative Air Force High Sky Wing and supported by presenting sponsor Chevron, AIRSHO boasts impressive flying displays of vintage military aircraft and civilian aerobatic performers.
Also featured are simulated bomb raids, strafing runs and an infamous “wall of fire” illuminated by CAF’s award-winning pyrotechnic technicians, enabling history to come alive before your very eyes (and ears!).
Gates open at 9 a.m. on both days, the flying begins at 11:30 p.m. and the show closes at 3 p.m.
Go online to get your $10 ticket for ages 14 and up and $5 ticket for ages 6-13. Ages 5 and under are free. General parking is $10 (cash only), with proceeds partially benefiting the Boys Scouts. There are also options to upgrade to Fighter Squadron Chalet, Flight Line Chalet seating and VIP parking.
No seating is available for general admission, so attendees can bring their own blankets or chairs. Coolers, large umbrellas, and canopies are not permitted.
For more information and to get tickets or learn more about VIP seating and pricing, visit the Airsho 2023 website. Here is the current line-up for the airshow:
