Atlanta Air Show Arrives Oct 7 & 8

October 3, 2023

The Air Show has been a favorite event for aviation enthusiasts and families around metro Atlanta for years!

 Again this year, fans  will be treated to thrilling aerobatics and dazzling displays of power, both in the air and on the ground.  The U.S Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team will highlight this year's event. With the use of its unique thrust vectoring engine nozzles, the F-22 has the ability to turn on a dime and literally skid across the sky.  In addition to the U.S Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team, there will be numerous other acts, as well as several aircraft on display. The U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight program will present the evolution of USAF air power by flying today's fighter aircraft in close formation with vintage fighter aircraft incorporating fighters from World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War and other conflicts in which the USAF has been involved. Additional performers include the U.S. Navy’s E/A-18G Growlers, Remax Parachute Team, Buck Roetman performing daredevil aerobatic maneuvers, an attack helicopter demo and the F4U Corsair demo.

Gates open at 9 am on Saturday and Sunday.  The aerial portion of the show runs from noon to approximately 4:00 pm.

General admission starts at $28.88. Children 5 and under are free in the General Admission seating area and do not need a ticket.  Additionally, several ticket packages are available, including special seating areas for guests looking for better views or VIP treatment. 

The Atlanta Air Show will take place in Peachtree City at Falcon Field (7 Falcon Dr, Peachtree City, GA), Saturday and Sunday, October 7 & 8, 2023. For more information, please visit the Atlanta Air Show website.
