The U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team won't be making an appearance at the Florida International Air Show due to a military decision. The event, which will showcase aircraft, performers and exhibits, is scheduled for Nov. 7-8 at the Punta Gorda Airport, with gates opening at 9 a.m. each day.
“We share the disappointment of everyone who was looking forward to seeing the F-35A,” Denise Dull, President of the Florida International Air Show said. “Our Board is pivoting quickly and remains committed to presenting a full and exciting lineup while creating an unforgettable aviation experience for families throughout Southwest Florida.”
Recent schedule additions include the MiG-17 subsonic fighter jet, which was introduced in 1952 and the TA-4J Skyhawk jet trainer, introduced in 1969.
