The **Altus Air Force Base Open House & Airshow** is an annual event held at the **Altus Air Force Base**, located in Oklahoma. The event gives the public access to the base for an up-close look at the aircraft, military equipment and capabilities of the US Air Force, as well as offering spectacular aerial demonstrations.
The air show highlights transport and aerial refueling aircraft, such as the **C-17 Globemaster III**, **KC-135 Stratotanker** and **KC-46 Pegasus**, which are the main aircraft used for pilot and crew training at the base. Altus AFB plays a central role in crew training for strategic airlift and refueling missions.
In addition to these aircraft, the Open House & Airshow often hosts acrobatic demonstrations by renowned teams such as the US Air Force's **Thunderbirds**, or performances with fighter aircraft such as the F-16 or F-22. Static displays also allow visitors to climb aboard aircraft, interact with military personnel and learn more about Air Force operations.
The event is designed to strengthen ties between the local community and the US Air Force, while providing an impressive showcase for the power and technicality of American military aviation.
