Have you started making your summer plans yet? Make sure they include the 2021 Westfield Air Show! Better yet gift yourself or a loved one with the VIP experience at the Air Show!

Tickets are now available for the Eagle’s Nest VIP Chalet! Head to the show website, www.westfieldairshow.org, for more details and tickets for the best seat in the house.

See you there!!

unfortunately, the Westfield Int'l Airshow will be cancelled for this year, via Greg Colyer's Facebook Page. He announced this information yesterday. Bummer for anyone who had laid out plans to visit that airshow in August.

The installation officials just decided to call it off, it will take a few days or less for the word to be sent out about the cancellation notice. Coming from my perspective, performers, vendors, and volunteers are the first people to be notified of their show being canceled, but anyway they should probably be an announcement about it sometime by this weekend or next week at most, whenever the notice is ready to be made.

WESTFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – 104th Fighter Wing officials have decided to cancel the 2021 Westfield International Air Show and Barnes Air National Guard Base Open House due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Barnes Air National Guard made the announcement in a news release sent to 22News Wednesday morning.

The scheduled Air Show, which was to feature the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, was originally scheduled for August 14-15, 2021.

“Here at the 104th Fighter Wing, the health and safety of our community and our Barnestormers is our top priority. We understand what the Air Show means to the 104th and the surrounding communities. Making the decision to cancel this community event was difficult but necessary. Thank you for your unwavering support of the 104th Fighter Wing. We look forward to the next opportunity that we can safely host another Air Show and Open House here,” said Maj. Stephen ‘Steagle’ Mindek, Project Officer for the scheduled 2021 Air Show.

According to a news release sent to 22News, the 104th Fighter Wing is made up of highly trained personnel ready to provide Air Superiority on-demand anywhere in the world with 21 assigned F-15C Eagle Aircraft. The Wing is always on call for emergency response to include security, logistics, communications, explosive ordnance disposal, firefighting, and medical support to the nation and Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
