In the air

Look up—because the sky above Beale Air Force Base is about to erupt with speed, power, and precision. The 2025 Beale Air & Space Expo will feature an unforgettable aerial lineup headlined by the US Air Force Thunderbirds, returning to dominate the skies with their thrilling, high-speed formations and jaw-dropping maneuvers. Joining them are iconic military aircraft, historic warbirds, and elite civilian pilots showcasing the full range of aviation excellence.

This year’s aerial demonstrations include everything from supersonic jets and tactical showcases to gravity-defying stunts and nostalgic flybys. The U-2 Dragon Lady, Beale’s own legendary high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, will make a special appearance, while performers like Tucker’s Air Patrol and Aarron Deliu bring high-energy solo acts with aerobatic flair. And don’t miss the awe-inspiring USAF Parachutist Demonstration Team, dropping in from the heavens above.

Whether you're a seasoned aviation enthusiast or a first-time airshow attendee, the aerial lineup at Beale will leave you speechless. Grab your cameras, tilt your gaze skyward, and get ready to feel the thunder—this is as close to flying as it gets.
