JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas-- The 502nd Air Base Wing is hosting the Great Texas Airshow at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph April 23-24, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day.

The aerial event is featuring the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron Thunderbirds,” the F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and many others. It will also be a key event celebrating the 75th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force.

After a challenging season and last years airshow cancellation, we are all looking forward to celebrating the heritage, precision, and professionalism of our Air Force and providing the San Antonio community an opportunity to interact with the teammates and mission partners who are responsible for making JBSA the DODs premier joint base,” said Brig. Gen. Caroline Miller, the 502nd Air Base Wing and JBSA commander.

The Great Texas Airshow also includes support from all services and is featuring static displays and aerial demonstrations by many military and civilian acts.

The event is free and open to the public. Gate information will be made available as the event nears.

Previous airshows and open house events were held every few years. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 airshow was canceled out of an abundance of caution.

The event schedule is subject to change and will be updated as information becomes available. For updates on the Great Texas Airshow, visit www.greattexasairshow.com.
