After a two-year hiatus, the Pikes Peak Regional Airshow is back!
Gear up for performances, displays, exhibits and more at the Colorado Springs Airport Sept. 24-25. More than 40 historical aircraft will be on display and flying.
“The Pikes Peak Regional Airshow is a unique event, with history, rare vintage warbirds, current military aircraft, and flight demonstrations that are simply amazing to see!” said event coordinator Travis Stedman. “Add in the static displays, beer garden, local vendors, the KidZone! activities for children, and there's something for everyone.”
The air show was first organized in 2014 by a small group of local pilots and warbird owners who recognized that Colorado Springs could sustain a first-rate airshow—one that would bring out rare and unusual aircraft from local owners and draw pilots and aircraft from distant collections and museums.
The best part? It’s all for a great cause. Proceeds help fund three area museums: the Fourth Infantry Division Museum at Ft. Carson, the National Museum of World War II Aviation, and the Peterson Air and Space Museum at Peterson AFB.
“People just want to get back into the things they enjoyed pre-COVID, and the airshow is a perfect outdoor family activity to do so!” Stedman said.
