EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — After it was a “no show” in 2025 due to the government shutdown, the Amigo Airsho has announced its plans for El Paso in 2026 and 2027.
The MountainStar Sports Group Amigo Airsho announced the 2026 event will be held Oct. 24-25 and will be headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, featuring the US Air Force F-16 Viper Demo Team and the U.S. Army Golden Knights, while the 2027 show will be held on Oct. 9-10 and headlined by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.
Organizers said that next year, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will return to El Paso since 2009, bringing F/A-18 Super Hornet precision flying and aerobatics and will be accompanied by the U.S. Army Golden Knights’ parachute demonstrations.

Meanwhile, for 2027, the Airsho is set to bring the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds’ synchronization show, executing loops, high-G turns, and fast climbs.
“We’re beyond thrilled to bring the Blue Angels, the Golden Knights, and the F-16 Viper Demo Team in 2026 and welcome the Thunderbirds in 2027,” said Alan Russell, MSSG Amigo Airsho Chairman. “These elite teams will light up the skies with heart-pounding aerobatics and breathtaking formations, while giving our community a chance to share in the excitement and create new memories.”
