The Cleveland National Air Show is one of the United States' most iconic aviation events, taking place every year over Labor Day weekend at Burke Lakefront Airport, located along Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio. The airshow attracts tens of thousands of spectators, a mix of aviation enthusiasts, families and high-flying enthusiasts.
The show features exceptional aerial demonstrations, often with the participation of the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels, the U.S. Air Force's Thunderbirds or the F-35 Lightning II, demonstrating the power and agility of these modern aircraft. In addition to these military aircraft, historic aircraft such as World War II Warbirds also take part, taking spectators back in time with re-enactments of aerial combat.
Complementing the aerobatics, the Cleveland National Air Show offers static displays where visitors can see military and civilian aircraft up close, chat with pilots and sometimes even climb aboard. Ground demonstrations, such as parachute or military vehicle displays, add an interactive dimension to the event.
The lakeside setting, with Cleveland's skyline as a backdrop, creates a unique and dynamic atmosphere. The Cleveland National Air Show is a premier event for the region, celebrating history, technology and passion for aviation.
