“The New York Air Show is a wonderful community event, which celebrates the air power of the American military, and we are excited to have the Thunderbirds back for the second year in a row,” Neuhaus said. “We look forward to hosting the Air Show with our partners and I’m sure that Orange County Airport will once again be a safe and successful venue to host it.”
Neuhaus said that the Air Show is being held at Orange County Airport in accordance with New York State Health Department COVID-19 safety guidelines.
“The Air Show was smaller and different last year with strict safety and social distancing guidelines in place; but I think it was important for our community to host the popular event,” Neuhaus added. “The Air Show served as a model as how to host safe drive-in events, not only in Orange County, but throughout the State.”
The U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team will also be featured at the 2021 New York Air Show and other performers will be added to the lineup in the coming months, officials say.
