The Bethpage Federal Credit Union and the New York state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced the final performer lineup for this year's Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach.
The event will take place on May 27 and May 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Officials say the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will return for their ninth headliner performance. Military performers joining the Thunderbirds include the United States Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, the United States Marines F-35B Demonstration Team, the United States Navy F-18 Growler Legacy Team and the United States Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod.
The world-famous Skytypers and their flight squadron of five vintage WWII aircraft will also be in attendance for the event.
"We have a full lineup of exciting performers this year, and of course we are very happy to welcome the Thunderbirds back to Long Island," said George Gorman, regional director for the New York state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. "During their last visit in 2021, our weekend performances were rained out, but the Thunderbirds remained for our unprecedented Memorial Day show. We will be forever grateful to them for this decision."
