COCOA BEACH, Fla. – The U.S. Navy Blue Angels will headline the 2026 Dot Air Show Tour a couple months from now in Cocoa Beach, according to organizers.
Set for April 11 and 12, the air show follows America 250 theming.
“This is a special moment for our country and for Florida’s Space Coast,” Bryan Lilley, CEO of the Air Dot Show Tour, said in a statement. “Welcoming the Blue Angels to Cocoa Beach for the very first time as part of America’s 250th anniversary creates an unforgettable backdrop to celebrate our nation, our military, and our shared history.”
Famed for their exciting and precise solo and formation maneuvers, the Blue Angels use Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets with an iconic, primarily-blue paint job. The same jets were supposed to be featured last year during an Air Dot show at Orlando Sanford International Airport that was cancelled due to the federal government shutdown.
