COCOA BEACH, Fla. – Excitement is building on Florida’s Space Coast as organizers announce that the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will be the star attraction at the upcoming 2026 Dot Air Show Tour in Cocoa Beach, set to kick off in just a few months.
The event, scheduled for April 11 and 12, will be themed around “America 250,” celebrating the nation’s rich history and heritage.
“This event marks a significant moment for our country and Florida’s Space Coast,” remarked Bryan Lilley, CEO of the Air Dot Show Tour. “Hosting the Blue Angels in Cocoa Beach for the first time as part of America’s 250th anniversary offers a spectacular way to honor our nation, our military, and the shared history we cherish.”
Renowned for their thrilling solo and formation aerial displays, the Blue Angels will showcase their skills using Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, known for their striking blue paint scheme. These same jets were slated to appear at last year’s Air Dot Show at Orlando Sanford International Airport, which was unfortunately canceled due to a federal government shutdown.
