The US Air Force’s Air Combat Command solo demonstration teams have announced their 2021 schedules at the virtual ICAS Convention today.
As with the last two seasons, the USAF will field three front-line fast jet demonstrations: the F-35A Lightning II, F-22A Raptor, F-16C Fighting Falcon and A-10C Thunderbolt II. Each team will perform approximately 15-minute solo displays, as well as “Heritage Flights” alongside well-known US warbirds.
In addition to solo displays, all four teams will be visiting Canada at least once. Additional international shows in the UK, UAE, Mexico, Colombia and Australia are also pending approval.
North American military airshow teams traditionally announce their schedules at the the International Council of Air Shows’ annual convention, which is being held virtually this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
