Last updated 21st Jul 2024
Aviation fans from all over the global have been travelling to Gloucestershire this weekend to get a glimpse of their favourite planes.
The three day event is expected to host over 150,000 people and will put on static and air displays of over 250 aircraft some across the world.
The highlights for this year's event include the 50th anniversary of the F-16 Fighting Falcon's first flight, the 75th anniversary of NATO, and the diamond jubilee of the Red Arrows.
The popular nine-ship Red Arrows display team will be performing today (21/7) for the final time this weekend. With the routine expected at noon.
On the ground there will be a vast static display, in addition to a techno zone and inspire stage hoping to kickstart the careers of the next generation.
Drivers are being reminded roads to and from the airfield will be busy and colour-coded routes are in place for motorists to follow. Organisers recommend the Swindon Shuttle Bus or Cheltenham Park and Ride as the fastest way to get to the show.
