2025 Fort Lauderdale Air Dot Show Wows Crowds

The 2025 Fort Lauderdale Air Dot Show took place over the weekend, featuring the return of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, who last participated in the event in 2023. Spectators, including many from Canada and other countries, gathered on Fort Lauderdale Beach to watch aerial performances by the Blue Angels, the Air Force F-22 Raptor, and other high-performance aircraft. The Blue Angels performed a 40-minute routine with 20 maneuvers, demonstrating their trademark precision by flying as close as 18 inches apart. Their team, comprising elite pilots and about 140 support crew, includes trailblazing female officers. The event began with opening ceremonies at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park and offered a wide range of demonstrations. Attendees described the show as awe-inspiring and praised the pilots’ exceptional skill.
