Aero-News Quote of the Day

“The closure of the large runway in Cheyenne is a key factor in this decision. After much discussion and consideration, canceling the show for 2023 is the best way to ensure the safety of our community and the Thunderbirds. While we are sad to discontinue our airshow, we understand the risk that comes with performing and are grateful to the Thunderbirds for their many years of support.”

Source: 90th Missile Wing Commander Colonel Catherine Barrington after the 2023 Wings Over Warren airshow was cancelled due to the unfortunate but necessary cancellation of the event’s headline act—the USAF Thunderbirds. The famed air demonstration squadron dropped out of the show after it was determined that performing in Cheyenne carried too much risk insomuch as no approved emergency landing airfields are located in sufficiently close proximity to F.E. Warren AFB.
