Blue Angels Still Headlining the New Hampshire Air Show This Weekend, but There’s a Time Change

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! It's the Blue Angels!

The flight demonstration team will be taking to the skies as part of the New Hampshire air show in 2025, so get ready for some high-flying spectacular stunts.

But heads up, there's been a recent time change to the free event.

Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2025

The Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show is back this year and takes place September 6 and 7, 2025, at Pease Air National Guard Base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with the Blue Angels as the main act.

But there's been a recent update on the times.

Now, the gates will open at 8 a.m. with the opening ceremonies and flying starting around 11 a.m.

The Blue Angels are tentatively scheduled to begin their demonstration as early as 1:30 p.m., with the flying acts done around 3 p.m.

The last New Hampshire air show took place in 2023 with the Air Force's F-16 Viper Demo Team as the headliner, according to a Pease International press release.

As for the Blue Angels? The last time they performed in New England was in 2021 in Maine, which was a rescheduled air show from its cancellation in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Who Is Performing at the Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2025?

How much does Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show 2025 cost?

General admission to the air show is free. Parking on site requires a parking pass reservation, but those parking passes have all been reserved.

Don't worry. The air show website states that if you didn't get a parking ticket, you can always consider ride-sharing, as there will be a drop-off gate near the main terminal.
