The Stuart Air Show is returning to the skies November 7th and 8th. This year, in addition to assembling rare aerial military performers, we will be honoring the memory of air show performer, Dr. Joseph Masessa, who passed away when his plane crashed at Witham Field hours before the 2019 show was set to start.

The show's featured fighter jets are air combat aircraft that have not performed at the same event in the United States for the last eight years, making this year's lineup truly something special.  In addition to the U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight and USASOC Black Daggers Parachute Team, spectators will enjoy the A-10 "Thunderbolt II" Demo Team, F-16 "Viper" Demo Team, F-22 "Raptor" Demo Team, and F-35 "Lightning II" Demo Team.

Not all the excitement will be exclusively in the air! Stuart Air Show patrons will get to experience an incredible Freestyle Motocross (FMX) show, which will include a motorcycle jumping over a moving aircraft. There will be three FMX shows each day: two on the crowd's side of the air field and one on the tarmac. The three FMX performers will be Cody Elkins, TJ Tiffany, and Jerad LaRue.

Tickets are available on our website at stuartairshow.com/tickets or by calling 877-588-9463. Witham Field is located at 1895 Flying Fortress Lane in Stuart.
