Show Me State Air Show

September 12-13, 2026

Celebrating our veterans and military members is the focus of the air show! This year’s show line-up includes static aircraft displays, RC Jet demonstrations, aerobatics from Rifle Airshows, and so much more. The event will feature demonstrations by the Red Bull Skydive Team, a kids' area with bounce houses, STEM booths, and hands-on activities, a food court and beer garden, and merchandise booths.

What Will I See?

• Red Bull's Kirby Chambliss - Kirby Chambliss started flying at 13 and never looked back. By 24 he was the youngest commercial pilot at Southwest Airlines, made captain at 28, and along the way built one of the most decorated careers in aerobatics: a 5-time U.S. National Aerobatic Champion and 2-time Red Bull Air Race World Champion. Watch for his signature cobra takeoff, a heart-stopping maneuver that's become his calling card in air shows around the world.
   
• TBM-3H Avenger (MO Wing CAF) - The Missouri Wings TBM-3E Avenger came off the production line in May of 1945 at the Eastern Aircraft / General Motors Corporation's Trenton, New Jersey Plant.​

  On May 19, 1945 the initial inspection was completed and the transfer order for TBM-3E aircraft number 53353 was finalized. For the next few years she would see service on the west coast from San Diego - SO NAS Pearl Harbor - NAF Tillamook - NAF Litchfield - NAS Norfolk. During the years leading to the Korean War, TBM Avengers were mustered for training and active duty. TBM-3E #53353 was assigned to VS-27 which was an Air Anti-Submarine Squadron.
  
  Designated as a trainer during the Korean War, #53353 and assigned to VS-27 whose aircraft had seen action off the carriers USS Kula Gulf, USS Siboney and USS Boxer Island. All three carriers from WWII were reactivated for use as trainers for pilots heading to the Korean Peninsula.​

• 1947 Ryan Navion (Mike Hartmon Airshows) - Originally designed by North American Aviation, the Navion brought fighter-inspired design to the civilian market after WWII. With sleek lines and rugged construction, it was adopted by both private pilots and the U.S. military. Today, this beautifully restored 1947 Navion stuns crowds with aerobatics performed by Mike Hartman.

• Erik Edgren Airshows - Erik Edgren doesn't just fly one routine, he brings a variety of acts to the box. His T-Clips takes the stage for wild comedy antics as "Hobie Washburn," gyroscopic power-on aerobatics, an industry-first deadstick roll to landing, and after dark, a "Lit Up" night act synced with 14 AeroLEDs and 4 color-changing light strips. Whatever the show calls for, Erik's got an act built for it, sometimes more than one in the same day.

• Huey & Cobra from AAHF - 

  Presented by the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation (AAHF), these Vietnam-era helicopters are more than machines, they’re living memorials of service and sacrifice. The UH-1 Huey and AH-1 Cobra played a vital role in military operations and are now fully restored to flying condition.

•  

  B-2 Spirit - The B-2 Spirit calls Missouri home, and it is flying over the Show Me State Air Show on Saturday, September 12 only. Flown by the 509th Bomb Wing out of Whiteman Air Force Base, it is the only stealth bomber of its kind in the world, and every one of them is based right here in our state. Its flying wing design gives it a shape unlike anything else in the sky and a radar signature small enough to slip past defenses undetected. You will notice the silence before you notice the aircraft. If you want to see it, Saturday is your day.
