Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, will host the Georgia Skies Open House and Air Show April 17-18, 2027, delivering two days of aerial power and ground-level access to the mission.
“We’re proud to showcase airpower with the Middle Georgia community,” said Col. Johari Hemphill, Robins Installation and 78th Air Base Wing commander. “For more than 85 years, this community has stood behind Robins AFB. This event opens our gates so we can stand alongside them and show exactly what that support makes possible.”
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels, based at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, will headline the event, delivering a high-speed demonstration of the precision and discipline behind military aviation.
Behind the six-jet demonstration team is a unit of more than 150 Sailors and Marines, each playing a critical role in executing a performance that reflects the skill, coordination and standards of American warfighters.
Established in 1946, the Blue Angels were formed to strengthen public interest in naval aviation and boost Navy morale following World War II. From early aircraft like the F6 Hellcat, F8 Bearcat and the F9 Panther to today’s F/A-18 Hornet, the team has evolved alongside the Navy for nearly 80 years.
That legacy continues today, as the Blue Angels have demonstrated the precision, disciple and capability that define modern military aviation for nearly 500 million spectators.
“The Blue Angels set the tone for the entire air show,” said Capt. Britian Mixon, 78th Force Support Squadron Military Personnel Flight commander and Air Show director. “We’re building a lineup of aerial acts, static displays and family-friendly experiences that showcase our mission and reflect the strong partnership between the installation and the community.”
