TAILGATING IS BACK.
What that means
For 2023, we’re bringing back the tailgate airshow model, meaning your ticket buys you and your car load your own personal viewing area for the show! Picture a tailgate party—but with jets. Your ticket gets you a parking space close to the action, food trucks, Kids Zone and vendors, meaning no long walks to the ramp. It’s a win-win!
