Barksdale Air Show to Feature Blue Angels This Weekend
The United States Navy's "Blue Angels" are coming back again this year to highlight this weekend's Barksdale Air Show at Barksdale Air Force Base.
The Barksdale Air Force Base Air Show allows Shreveport-Bossier City to showcase the home of the B-52, grant access to tour the military installation, view military and aerobatic performers, and support the recruiting arm of our armed forces.
At the air show you'll see both historical aircraft and the latest, state-of-the-art jets and inventions.
The air show will run both Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3. Gates will open both days at 9:00 am and flying will begin at 11:00 am. Admission is FREE.
