Get ready for a weekend of excitement as the Florida International Airshow returns to Punta Gorda on November 1–2, 2025. This annual event brings the roar of jet engines, daring stunts, and family-friendly fun to Southwest Florida’s skies.
At the Punta Gorda Airport, spectators can witness breathtaking performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the F-16 Viper Demo Team, aerobatic pilots Aarron Deliu and Doug Litton, the Warbird Thunder formation team, and the Chuters Jump Team. It’s an unforgettable mix of precision flying and raw power that keeps eyes glued to the sky all weekend.
Between aerial shows, visitors can explore the ground exhibits featuring modern and vintage aircraft, flight simulators, and hands-on experiences. Families especially love the Innovator’s STEM Pavilion, where kids can fly drones, play with VR technology, and learn the science behind flight. Food trucks, shaded seating, and local vendors round out the perfect Florida day.
The Airshow isn’t just entertainment; it’s about community and inspiration. The event is organized entirely by volunteers and helps support local charities and educational programs. Kids can even earn free tickets through the “Earn Your Wings” reading challenge, inspiring the next generation of aviation fans.
