US Navy Blue Angels to headline 2025 Columbus Air Show

Returning from 2023, the United States Navy Blue Angels will headline next year's Columbus Air Show at Rickenbacker International Airport.

Typically held in June, the air show will be moved to Aug. 22-24 in 2025.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 8 a.m. Aug. 27. Air Show Insights members will have an exclusive opportunity to buy tickets before the general public. Fans can become an Air Show Insights member for free by registering at columbusairshow.com

In six F/A-18 Super Hornets, the Blue Angels will fly in formations as close as 18 inches apart and at speeds up to 700 miles per hour. The squadron also will have its C-130J Hercules transport aircraft — affectionately known as “Fat Albert” — giving demonstrations at the show.
