Wings Over South Texas 2010 Air Show

 

From the CO:

Welcome! On behalf of the officers, men and women of NAS Kingsville and Training Air Wing TWO, I am proud to present this year's premier Texas Air Show "Wings Over South Texas 2010!"

Air shows provide military bases, and naval air stations in particular, a tremendous opportunity to open up our gates and allow our biggest supporters - the American taxpayer and citizen - to share in the pride of our military and see first-hand the remarkable equipment used and skills demonstrated by our county's finest everyday. All performances - both military and civilian - are executed with ultimate precision, and are the result of years of training and practice. I know you will be impressed by what you see.

Our goal during this action-packed weekend is to provide something for everyone, and as we say, "this year, we're more than just wings." In addition to our headlining act, the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Team - the Blue Angels - we also have Grammy-nominated Country artists, Emerson Drive, to perform following the Blue Angels' performance on Saturday, March 27.

We've recently added the USAF Viper East team to our line-up, and I'm thrilled to have the Air Force on board.  Viper East flys the F-16 Fighting Faclson and their performances are about as good as they get. You won't want to miss their performance . 

All performances are free to the public, and free parking will be available on base. I ask that you check out our security information located on this website prior to packing your things for the show. Many of the things you will want to bring are allowed, however, in order to provide you and your family a secure place to enjoy a fun-filled day, we have to restrict certain items.

Finally, be sure to check our website for updates, as we are still adding events for the weekend show.

I look forward to seeing you and hope you enjoy "Wings Over South Texas 2010" - This Year, It's More Than Just Wings!

Commanding Officer, NAS Kingsville
