Air shows are public events where aircraft perform in front of an audience. These shows often feature a variety of flying displays, including aerobatics, formation flying, and demonstrations of military and civilian aircraft. Attendees can see both vintage planes and modern jets, showcasing the evolution of aviation technology. In addition to flight performances, air shows may include static displays, where visitors can view aircraft up close. Many air shows also offer activities for families, such as food vendors, educational exhibits, and opportunities to meet pilots. Popular air shows, like the EAA AirVenture and Paris Air Show, attract large crowds and celebrate aviation history.
