The NAFEC Air Show will take place on Saturday, March 11, 2023, gates open at 8:30 am. We have completely redesigned the blueprint and format of the show and our intention is to give you a “Pre-Flight” experience with entertainment and food, including cars and a live band, and more in a brand new ground layout! As we get closer to the event date, we will post more information here for you!
