Thunderbirds listed as headliners

As last year’s sweltering but stunning air show is still fresh in attendee’s mind, McConnell Air Force Base, (McConnell AFB), announced on Friday that their next air show date in 2026 will feature the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds as headliners.

The 2026 Frontiers in Flight Open House and Air Show is scheduled for October 17-18, sure to draw a crowd as usual. At last year’s air show the crowd grew to 65,000 visitors just on day one in the sweltering August heat. The air show wasn’t able to finish day two performances due to unexpected microbursts of wind gusts and rain. The 54 mph wind gusts left debris thrown around the tarmac, making conditions too dangerous to fly safely.

Despite the challenges of heat safety among attendees and unpredictable Kansas weather, McConnell AFB was given the title of 2024 Blue Angels Military Airshow of the Year last month by the Blue Angels. The air show was the best attended air show of the year.

The Thunderbirds are an Air Force performing aerial demonstration team, performing precision aerial maneuvers that display the Air Force’s high-performance aircraft to people around the globe. Six aircraft perform formation flying and solo routines that demonstrate the capability and gracefulness of the F-16 Fighting Falcon, a frontline fighter. The Thunderbirds last performed in ICT airspace in September 2022.

“The base looks forward to milder October weather and a historically lower chance of precipitation during next year’s show,” said McConnell AFB in a press release.

Other performers for the air show have yet to be announced, but the AFB is working on booking now. Details will be announced as they are made available.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
