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.

Here's a look at the schedule for both Saturday and Sunday but please remember, the schedule is subject to change.

Parking: Free; On-base parking will be made available for visitors entering the North (Bossier) and West (Shreveport) gates. All vehicles will be directed to the flight line parking area. COURTESY BUS TRANSPORTATION will also be available from Bossier Parish Community College to minimize traffic congestion on and off the base. Although intervals are not finalized, the buses will run on a continuous route to and from the show.
