The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds have released their updated 2021 air show schedule that includes three shows in California.

Good news for residents of Aerospace Valley as the Thunderbirds will be in Lancaster, Calif., Oct. 23-24, for the Los Angeles County Air Show.

Other California air shows include Sept. 25-26 at Mather, Calif., for the California Capital Air Show; and Oct. 3-31 in Salinas for the California International Air Show.

The Thunderbirds have the privilege and responsibility to perform for people all around the world, displaying the pride, precision and professionalism of American Airmen. In every hour-long demonstration, the team combines years of training and experience with an attitude of excellence to showcase what the Air Force is all about.

The sharply choreographed, drill-style ground ceremony kicks off the demonstration by showcasing the attention to detail and esprit de corps that defines our enlisted members. As the jets take to the skies and fly only a few feet from wingtip to wingtip, the crowd gets a glimpse of the awesome skills and capabilities that all fighter pilots must possess. The solo pilots integrate their own loud and proud routine, exhibiting some of the maximum capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon – the Air Force’s premier multi-role fighter jet.
