Beyond the airborne performances, the event promises a deep dive into aviation history and innovation.

These exhibits provide a closer look at the incredible machines that have shaped aviation’s past and present.
The Smyrna community holds a special bond with the Blue Angels. This connection was forever marked by the tragic loss of Capt. Jeff Kuss, who perished in an F/A-18 jet crash near the Sam Davis Plantation on June 3, 2016. Honoring his legacy, an F/A-18 jet was donated to the town of Smyrna and now stands as a solemn tribute to Capt. Kuss and the Blue Angels’ enduring spirit.
