Each November, the skies above Witham Field come alive as our community gathers to celebrate aviation, honor those who have served and inspire the next generation. From November 13 to 15, the Stuart Air Show returns for what promises to be one of our most exciting and memorable events yet.

      Before looking ahead, we must acknowledge the tremendous support we received in 2025. The government shutdown presented unexpected challenges and uncertainty for air shows across the country, but our community stood behind us. Our sponsors, volunteers, performers, partners and attendees showed up with enthusiasm and reminded us why the Stuart Air Show has remained a treasured Treasure Coast tradition for more than three decades. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make last year’s event possible.

      Now, we are ready to come back bigger and better than ever—and 2026 is not the year to miss out.

      Headlining this year’s show is the United States Air Force F-16 Viper Demonstration Team. The F-16 will showcase the power, speed, agility and precision of one of the world’s most recognizable fighter aircraft. Its high-energy performance is sure to be a highlight for aviation enthusiasts and first-time attendees alike.

      The military presence continues with appearances by the massive C-17 Globemaster III and the KC-46 Pegasus, offering audiences a look at the remarkable aircraft and capabilities of today’s United States Air Force.

      This year’s civilian lineup is equally impressive. The Red Bull Helicopter and Red Bull Air Force will bring an entirely different level of excitement to Witham Field, while the NextGen Eagles take formation aerobatics to new heights in their pair of Christen Eagles. Kevin Coleman of Coleman Aerosports will push the limits of his Extra 300, demonstrating incredible precision and control.

      The Titan Aerobatic Team returns with three iconic North American AT-6 Texans, combining the unmistakable sound and history of these legendary aircraft with beautiful formation flying.

      Audiences will also experience the F4U-4 Corsair flown by Jim Tobul, connecting spectators with an important chapter of military aviation history.

      The Round Canopy Parachute Team and the historic C-47 “Tico Belle” will provide another meaningful tribute to the courage and sacrifice of earlier generations. Additional performances from GhostWriter Airshows, Kyle Fowler Aerosports and RJ Gritter Airshows will fill the weekend with aerobatics, smoke, speed and plenty of surprises.

      The celebration begins Friday evening with our signature twilight and night air show, followed by a spectacular fireworks and drone show finale. Saturday and Sunday will feature full days of aerial performances, military demonstrations, static aircraft displays, exhibits, activities for children, food and entertainment for the entire family. Sunday will once again place special emphasis on honoring our veterans and their service to our country.

      As America commemorates its 250th anniversary in 2026, the Stuart Air Show offers a fitting opportunity to celebrate our nation’s aviation heritage, recognize those who defend our freedom and look toward the future with pride.

      Mark your calendars for November 13 to 15. Bring your family, invite your friends and join us at Witham Field. The 2026 Stuart Air Show is ready to soar—and you will want to be there when it does.
