The Branson Wings of Pride Air Show announced that the U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team has been added to the 2025 show lineup. The announcement was made at the International Council of Air Show’s (ICAS) annual convention in Las Vegas where the Air Force confirmed the Raptor’s participation in next summer’s show. The event will be headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels – their first ever visit to Branson— August 30-31, 2025, at the Branson Airport.
The Raptor is the world’s most advanced fighter aircraft and one of the most sought-after demonstrations on the air show circuit. Its incredible maneuverability, aided by its computerized controls and powerful, thrust-vectoring jet engines, make the Raptor one of the most advanced technological marvels on the planet. The Raptor performs maneuvers in its air show demonstration that appear impossible, including hovering, tail slides and paddle turns more common from a civilian biplane. The Raptor is also capable of supersonic flight and will demonstrate high-speed passes as part of its performance.
“It would be difficult to overstate the excitement surrounding the Branson Wings of Pride Air Show,” said Kerry Floyd, Executive Director of Wings of Pride Air Shows. “We are grateful to the Air Force for the confidence it has placed in our team and all of our supportive local communities to help showcase the power and precision of the F-22 Raptor. With the Raptor and the Blue Angels joining a lineup of top tier talents, Branson Wings of Pride will be a breathtaking thrill ride like none other.”
