Air shows are presented as more than a spectacle, offering families exposure to fighter jets and vintage warbirds that can inspire aviation careers.
Organizers must request restricted airspace from the FAA at least 56 days in advance, coordinate with airlines to schedule performances around commercial flights, and obtain safety waivers, while the Blue Angels are booked 12 to 15 times a year with lead times of up to 2.5 years and civilian performers may be booked a month ahead.
