Tens of thousands are drawn to the flightline, where they were dazzled by a stunning display of precision aerobatics and pyrotechnics from many of the world’s top air show performers.
Start time is approximately 8:45 p.m., with fireworks to follow at 9:30 p.m. Following the night air show, performers will be available for a meet-and-greet alongside their aircraft.
