The Air Force Thunderbirds are always worth a drive up to Cheyenne to see their performance during Cheyenne Frontier Days, but this year, you may not have to take a day off of work to do it!

The popular airshow has traditionally happened midweek, but this year it’ll be on Saturday.

The aerial demonstration team will headline the Wings Over Warren Airshow from 11 a.m. to noon during the Saturday showcase.

Held at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, right by Frontier Park where CFD is held, the event is free to the public. The hour-long airshow also features a lineup of aircraft and skydivers, and attendees can grab a bite at food trucks and enjoy inflatable games, as well as static displays of Blackhawk and Huey helicopters.

The show is drive-in style, with attendees entering through Roundtop Road. To get in, you must have valid photo ID, and vehicles are subject to security checks. Distinguished Visitors with a valid pass may use Gate 5 on Central Avenue for designated DV parking.
