The airshow will be Oct. 1-2, 2022 and will feature a great lineup of airshow performances as well as static displays and vendors, according to a Douglas County news release.
"The staff of the airport is excited to bring the Blue Angels back, and are looking forward to producing another great airshow for the community," the news release states.

The Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron was formed in 1946 by the United States Navy. The unit is the second oldest formal aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931.
The Blue Angels' Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets (numbered 1–6) are currently flown by five Navy demonstration pilots and one Marine Corps demonstration pilot. The Blue Angels typically perform aerial displays annually in at least 60 shows at 30 locations throughout the United States. Go here for the official FAQ page.
