Skybound Spectacle

Following an impressive display of loops and maneuvers in Orlando, the Air Dot Show Tour is set to soar into South Florida May 11-12, bringing the ultimate patriotic celebration to Fort Lauderdale Beach.

Flying this year are the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds in their F-16 Fighting Falcons; the A-10 Thunderbolt II Demo Team, a single-pilot aircraft known as the “Warthog” and “Tank Killer”; the Ghost Squadron (which provides training opportunities to astronauts); the United States Special Operations Command Parachute Team, known as the SOCOM Para-Commandos (comprising volunteers from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and U.S. government civilians) and the U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight featuring both contemporary and vintage fighter aircraft, including those from World War II and the Vietnam War.

Hundreds of aircraft aficionados can witness the world-class thrilling performances firsthand by securing a private viewing area in the sand or by enjoining a panoramic view from the rooftop of the Pelican Grand Hotel with VIP passes. Two other ticket options are the Flight Line Club VIP, offering tents for dining and shelter from the sun, and the Drop Zone Beach, which provides convenient bathroom access and beverage offerings for a hassle-free, memorable viewing experience.
