US Navy Blue Angels to Perform in Branson in 2025

Well know aerial performers will make their debut over the skies of the Lakes Region next year.

The Branson Wings of Pride Air Show will happen in just over a year according to an announcement made at the Branson Convention Center Tuesday and recapped in the press release below:

The Branson Wings of Pride Air Show announced today that the U.S. Navy Blue Angels have selected Branson as one of the team’s 2025 demonstration sites. This will be the first ever performance by the Blue Angels in Branson, Missouri, with the air show scheduled August 30-31, 2025, at the Branson Airport (BBG).  
 
“We are excited beyond belief to host the U.S. Navy Blue Angels at our first air show in Branson,” said Kerry Floyd, Executive Director of Wings of Pride Air Shows, the producers of the event.  “The Blue Angels are known the world over for their high energy and precision flying.”
 
“We are only beginning to get our arms around the potential magnitude of what promises to be a great event,” said Branson Mayor Larry Milton. “The aerobatic maneuvering of skill and teamwork of the legendary Blue Angels will be on full display in our Branson skies. This event adds even more credibility to the Branson pillars of Faith, Family, Flag and Fun,” said the Mayor.          
 
The Blue Angels demonstration consists of six F/A-18 Super Hornets in the iconic blue and yellow Navy colors.  The aircraft will fly at speeds approaching the speed of sound and will perform maneuvers with wing tips as close as 18” of separation.  The demonstration will also include the Blue Angels’ support aircraft, the U.S. Marine Corps C-130 Hercules “Fat Albert.”
 
“With the Blue Angels as our headliner, we anticipate some very special vintage aircraft, the world’s most accomplished civilian aerobatic pilots, and additional military aircraft, that is building what will be one of the top lineups in North America in 2025,” said Floyd. The show will announce additional performers, static aircraft and ground entertainment for their lineup over the next year. This promises to be a “can’t miss” family event.
 
Those interested in attending the show are encouraged to register for free as an “Air Show Insights” member on the show’s website. In addition to ticket access in advance of the general public, Air Show Insights members will receive periodic news updates about the air show and performers or static displays as they are added.
 
General public access to tickets will be made available online through the show’s website, beginning in mid-September. 
 
There are corporate partnership opportunities available for companies and organizations seeking upscale hospitality options, branding opportunities, and on-site exposure.  Email info@BransonWingsofPride.com for additional information.
