2026 NAS Jacksonville Air Show - USAF Thunderbirds

The Air Force's Thunderbirds take to the skies over Naval Air Station Jacksonville for their second practice flight of the day on Friday. Once again, Thunderbird #7 had taken to the skies prior (with several flybys before the demo got underway, none of which are featured in the video) and joined up with the team for part of their low show display. The 2026 airshow at NAS Jacksonville marked the Thunderbirds' first airshow appearance at the base. The 2026 NAS Jacksonville Air Show took place from October 17-18, 2026 at Naval Air Station Jacksonville. This year's airshow featured both the United States Air Force's Thunderbirds and the United States Navy's Blue Angels as headliners. The video showcased here was shot on Friday October 16, 2026. MUSIC DISCLAIMER: Any music in the video was played through a public address system and ZINGER AVIATION MEDIA does not have any control over what music is being played during an air show or the volume of said music. Over the years, the music industry has increased its concern to ensure they are paid when ANY copyrighted music is played. Therefore, according to the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS), any U.S. air show, whether civilian or military, must secure the necessary music licenses for broadcast of pre-recorded copyrighted music over public address systems. As stated for the 2026 airshow season, ICAS has negotiated a deal that will allow issuance of music licenses for ICAS member air shows for all three US music licensing organizations: ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. Each ICAS member air show is eligible for a single package of the three music licenses for one air show at the cost of $770 for a one (1) day air show; $1,100 for a two (2) day air show; $1,375 for a three (3) day air show; $1,650 for a four (4) day air show; $1,925 for a five (5) day air show, $2,200 for a six (6) day air show; $2,475 for a seven (7) day air show, and $2,750 for an eight (8) day air show. The rate applies only to music broadcast over the public address system during the public air show portion of the program (not practice/rehearsal/closed to the public days) and does not provide the air show with the right to use pre-recorded music at concerts or other non-air show special events held in conjunction with the air show. These rates may be higher for 2026 events.
