Tinker Air Show 2025: What to know before you go

Thousands are expected to gather at Tinker Air Force Base to watch the Thunderbirds in action for the first time in Oklahoma since 2019.

News 9 Meteorologist Megan Gold will co-host the event and is sharing additional details about Saturday and Sunday's event.

The US Air Force says this year, their show is brand new. When the show had to take a hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic, they took the opportunity to revamp their show.

In addition to the Thunderbirds, those attending can also watch the Air Force Drill Team and the United States Air Force Band.

On the ground, there will also be several parked airplanes to come and check out before the Thunderbirds show begins at 4 p.m.

In the event of rain or storms, Tinker does have contingency plans for any storms that pop up, especially with lightning.

The show begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
