EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – After 12 years, the Amigo Airsho is back in El Paso. The beloved event returns to the skies of the Borderland on Oct. 12-13 and this year, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds Air Demonstration Squadron will be in town.
“We are thrilled to bring the Amigo Airsho back to the region. It has been a work in progress and very much behind the scenes, but today is a great stepping-off point in making it official,” said Tresa Rockwell, CEO of the Amigo Airsho. “We are most thankful to Mr. Paul Foster, Franklin Mountain Investments, and the Million Air FBO for hosting this launch event. The energy in the hangar today was infectious, and we are thrilled to get this news off the ground as we prepare for October.”
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds, one of the world’s finest military acrobatic flight teams, will appear at the 2024 Amigo Airsho, their final and 19th performance of the 2024 schedule in El Paso. Throughout the airshow season, they will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
“Following a 12-year hiatus due to Fort Bliss mission-related requirements, the Amigo Airsho is back,” said Fort Bliss Garrison Commander Col. Brendan Gallagher. “As was the case for past Airshos, Fort Bliss looks forward to co-hosting the event and welcoming the many visitors who stop by to meet not only members of our local Army units and the equipment they use but also that of our sister services. Attendees can expect to enjoy flight demonstrations, static displays, food vendors, music, and interacting with our young men and women in uniform.”
