The Vero Beach Airshow recently took flight, transforming the skies above Vero Beach Regional Airport into a canvas of thrilling aerobatics and mesmerizing performances. From the thunderous roars of the A10’s venom to the graceful maneuvers of the USN Blue Angels, this event promised a weekend of aviation excitement.

The festivities kicked off with a bang on Friday night, as spectators were treated to a captivating display under the setting sun. The A10’s venom and the afterburner of a Mig 17 painted streaks of light across the twilight sky, setting the stage for an unforgettable weekend.

Among the standout performers was Bill Culberson’s Mig 17, showcasing its nimble and tight turning characteristics within the action packed demonstration. Notably, the A10 demo team is currently on its final farewell tour, making the Vero Beach Airshow one of the last opportunities for aviation enthusiasts to witness their remarkable performances in Florida. With only one more stop scheduled in the state at the Fort Lauderdale Airshow, the chance to see these jets in action is dwindling.

Of course, no airshow would be complete without the iconic performance of the USN Blue Angels. Based out of Pensacola, Florida, the Blue Angels Flight demonstration squadron delivered a jaw-dropping display of precision and skill that left spectators on the edge of their seats.

However, despite the excitement and spectacle, some attendees may have been left wanting more. With tickets priced higher than comparable shows that didn’t quite measure up to other events comparable, the overall value of the Vero Beach Airshow may have fallen short for some. And after three days of nonstop action, we’d rate the Vero Beach Airshow a solid 3.5 out of 5. While locals may find it worth attending for a weekend of entertainment, it may not be a must-see destination for avid aviation enthusiasts or travelers seeking the ultimate airshow experience.
