The 2021 Arctic Lightning Airshow roars back into Eielson AFB near Fairbanks, Alaska on 31 July - 1 August as the US Navy Blue Angels come to Alaska along with the USAF F-35 Demonstration Team. With their new Super Hornets and Super Hercules, the Blue Angels make their farthest deployment from the continental United States in 2021 for the great airshow fans of Alaska. Look for more performers to be added later this Spring.

The USN Blue Angels, USAF F-35 Demo, PACAF F-16 Demo, the Army Golden Knights, and all aircraft types from Eielson AFB will be a part of the 2021 Arctic Lightning Airshow on 31 July - 1 August. Schultz Airshows is honored to be back providing our Professional Services.

The 2021 edition of the Arctic Lightning Airshow will adopt the drive-in format.

David Schultz Airshows is providing the Professional Airboss and Announcing Services for the 2021 event at Eielson.

We are not aware of an A-10 Demo coming for the event from ACC at this time. If we gain confirmation of Gator coming up for this event, we'll find a spot for this demo as well.

It's going to be one heck of a show!

Sounds awesome, if it wasn't in conflict with Oshkosh I'd already have airline tickets booked! Hopefully a future year

You can disregard the A-10 Demo as it is no longer showing on the ICAS calendar.

Yeah that'd be a sweet summer trip, if it didn't conflict with Osh.
