The annual Air Dot Show in Cocoa Beach returns April 11-12 with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels performing aerial stunts. The event will also celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. The Blue Angels will fly over the Space Coast for the first time since 2019 during the two-day show. Demonstrations will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily at Lori Wilson Park, with visibility from Cocoa Beach Pier to Minutemen Causeway. The team will showcase formation and solo maneuvers in F-18 Super Hornets, including a four-jet loop and inverted roll with wingtips just two feet apart. Other performers include the F-16 Viper Demo Team, B-52 Stratofortress, and Air Force Heritage Flight. Free viewing is available from the beach, but ticketed options range from $37.50 to $199. Officials warn parking will be tight, and traffic on A1A and State Road 520 is expected to be heavy. The show will also feature the 920th Rescue Wing and SOCOM Para-Commandos. This year’s event is the first to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary. The Blue Angels’ last appearance in Cocoa Beach was in 2019. The Air Dot Show organizers say the event draws thousands each year. Parking near Lori Wilson Park is limited, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early. The show is hosted by the Cocoa Beach government and Air Dot Show organizers. No specific details about the B-52’s performance were provided in advance. The event is expected to be the busiest of the year due to the Blue Angels’ return.
