As we relive some of the highlights of the 2023 Owensboro Air Show, we're looking ahead to 2024, when the Blue Angels return to town to headline the show.

If you looked high in the sky this morning you may have noticed something special. Back in December of 2019, the City of Owensboro announced the return of the US Navy Blue Angels Demonstration Team. They'll perform in August of 2021 at the Owensboro Air Show.

With the test runs for the Shrinersfest airshows going on this week in downtown Evansville, it gets very loud at my desk in the middle of the office with no windows.  It got me thinking, that if I didn't know there was an airshow happening, I would be completely freaked out.  You've got to think there's some poor soul out there that was clueless as to what was happening.

It's official. This year's ShrinersFest will feature an appearance from the world-famous Blue Angels, as well as one other national jet team.

The Blue Angels have cancelled their appearance at the Evansville Shrinersfest.  According to the Evansville Courier and Press, the show was cancelled after one of the pilots was suspended after a recent airshow. So far, there’s no word from the Shriners about the situation, but with only two week’s notice, I would be surprised to see them able to pull together an alternative airshow for this year
