Thunderbirds To Headline Jones Beach Air Show For 10th Time

WANTAGH, NY — The lineup is set for the 2025 Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will headline the Memorial Day weekend show.

This year’s show will be the Thunderbirds’ 10th appearance as headliners. Last year, over 459,000 people attended the 20th Anniversary Show over the three-day period, making it the most highly attended air show to date.

Additional military performers for the 2025 show include: the United States Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, the United States Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II, the United States Navy F-35C Demo Team, the United State Navy Rhino Demo Team, the United States Navy EA-18G Growler Demo Team, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the 106th Rescue Wing NY Air National Guard and the 105th Airlift Wing unit of the New York Air National Guard.

Bethpage Federal Credit Union has been the title sponsor of our local air show since its inception in 2004, building on its history as the credit union founded by employees of Grumman Aerospace who built many of the aircrafts flown in the show over the years. Bethpage recently rebranded to become FourLeaf Federal Credit Union, making this year’s show the FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach.

Civilian teams set to perform, include: the American Airpower Museum Warbirds; current reigning Air Masters Cup Series champion and current Sky Grand Prix Champion, Aarron Deliu; Warbird Thunder featuring the North American SNJ Texan, a former WWII Navy Advanced Training Aircraft; the Farmingdale State College Flying Rams and Long Island’s own David Windmiller.

“We are thrilled to welcome the United States Air Force Thunderbirds as this year’s headliners and look forward to an amazing show by all our performers,” said George Gorman, Regional Director, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historical Preservation. “Every year more and more people come to our show, which has over the past 20 years become one of the most well-respected and well attended air shows in the country. It has become a great tradition for Long Island to honor our military and veterans and kick off the summer at Jones Beach.”

The Air Show, scheduled for Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25, is free to the public.

The standard $10.00 vehicle use fee will be collected each day upon entry to the State Park.
