How do I get tickets to the TUCSON, AZ 2023 Air show?

Can I see the Thunderbirds at Nellis AFB in the month of February 2023?
I served at Nellis AFB from February 1970 to September 1970. SSGT. Aircraft refueling.
Would like to tour the base again.
RyanS
The Thunderbirds will be practicing at that time, but probably not at Nellis. You would have to contact the team or base PAO to see about getting in.

Barbara Tucker
Will the airshow at Keesler be on base or over the Bay?
RyanS
It sounds like it will be a mixture of both. The best place for specific show info is in our forums: https://www.airshowstuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4304

Will there be an air show this year at MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida? I have several students that are interested in aviation and others that have never been in an airplane, and I would like them to be exposed to this.
RyanS
No show at MacDill this year but there are many shows in Florida that might be within range, check our 2023 calendar for a full list: https://airshowstuff.com/v4/airshow-calendar/2023-airshow-aviation-event-calendar/

I grew up seeing the Thunderbirds fly because my dad was in the Air Force for 30 years! The problem is that I’m an adult and my dad has long since passed. I really would love to see you guys and live in South Carolina. I know you’ve been here in the last couple of years but I didn’t find out until afterwards. Could you tell me if you will be coming back this way in 2023? Thank you all for your service!

We are losing our beloved air show in Alliance, Texas. I would love for there to be an air show in my hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas. There is a beautiful airport there with hardly any flights.

We went to the Pacific Air Show in Huntington Beach. This show and the talent displayed made me very proud of the participants and the men and women involved. This show was so impressive. Thank you for sharing you time and talent and service to our Country. You guys are in my prayers. I ask that Jesus would protect you God Bless.
