Florida International Air Show Advance Tickets go on sale 5/23/2025

Punta Gorda, Florida, May 21, 2025 – Advance tickets for the Florida International
Air Show go on sale at noon on Friday, May 23.

After taking a year off in 2024 due to hurricanes, the two-day event returns to the
skies over the Punta Gorda Airport Nov. 1-2, with a show headlined by two highperformance
jet teams: The Blue Angels and the F-16 Viper Demo Team.

Making their first appearance in Punta Gorda since 2012, the U.S. Navy Blue
Angels are renowned all over the world not just for their precision maneuvers and
formation flying, but for demonstrating American naval aviation excellence. The
elite team of 140 active-duty Sailors and Marines represent more than 800,000
men and women serving in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

Originally set to appear at the 2024 show, the U.S. Air Force’s F-16 Viper Demo
Team will showcase the abilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon – one of the Air
Force’s premier multi-role fighter jets.

Other performers include:
? Aaron Deliu – Aeronautic acrobatics from an Air Master Cup Series
Champion, Sky Grand Prix Winner, and Australian Unlimited Aerobatics
Champion.
? Warbird Thunder – That throaty roar you hear in the sky is “Ol Growler” –
the North American SNJ Texan, a former World War II advanced training
aircraft.
? Doug Litton – Performance flying, tight turns and gravity-defying
maneuvers are signatures of his Extra 300-S aircraft.
? The Chuters Jump Team – This veteran-owned and operated parachute
team promises a patriotic skydiving display.

New to this year’s show are two family-friendly attractions:
? The Innovators STEM Pavilion - A hands-on zone to engage students and
families with science, technology and aviation. On display are cutting-edge
technologies like virtual reality goggles used for design, drones in schools,
interactive medical diagnostic equipment, professional audio/video
technology, and agricultural robotics. Plus, you'll get an up-close look at
airplane structures, riveting, and more!
? The Family Aviation Experience – A fun, interactive area designed to
inspire future aviators and entertain all ages.
