Our events are a groundbreaking fusion of outdoor festival vibes and a high-flying aviation spectacular, offering a revolutionary blend of a center stage production with the exhilarating performances of an air show.”

The on-stage program is designed to enrich the attendee experience through team introductions, pilot interviews, and direct crowd engagement with emcees. To further enhance the experience, the program incorporates live music with a DJ, contributing to the dynamic atmosphere. This multifaceted approach ensures that attendees, regardless of their background or interests, can find enjoyment and engagement throughout the entirety of the Air Dot Show Tour experience.

In 2024, the Tour will host a distinguished international guest, the Italian Air Force Frecce Tricolori, marking their return to the U.S. for the first time since 1992. The Frecce Tricolori will showcase their skills at two of the tour’s destinations: New York, commemorating the 500th anniversary of Giovanni da Verrazzano’s landing in 1524, and Ocean City, MD, in honor of the 75th anniversary of NATO.

Officially known as the 313° Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico, Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale, Frecce Tricolori, established in 1961, operates the Aermacchi MB-339-A/PAN, a two-seat fighter-trainer aircraft. With ten aircraft, including nine in close formation and a soloist, they boast the title of the world’s largest acrobatic patrol. Their 30-minute display promises to infuse a touch of Italian flair into the American skies.

The 2024 tour will also feature renowned U.S. military demonstration teams including the Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy Blue Angels, along with aircraft demonstrations from various military branches and civilian aircraft piloted by some of the world’s best aviators.
