Warbird Thunder to Appear at the Florida International Air Show, November 1-2, 2025
Punta Gorda, FL — The Florida International Air Show is thrilled to welcome Warbird Thunder to its 2025 lineup, scheduled for November 1–2 at the Punta Gorda Airport. This marks an electrifying return of the North American SNJ Texan — also known as “Ol Growler” — to Southwest Florida’s skies.
Warbird Thunder promises an awe-inspiring aerial performance, featuring two SNJ Texans soaring in formation with their signature roar, smoke trails, and engaging aerobatic maneuvers like formation loops, aileron rolls, barrel rolls, and Cuban Eights. The show concludes with stunning opposing aerobatics as the planes separate and then reunite for a dramatic finale.
“Warbird Thunder brings a unique mix of history, heritage, and heart-stopping aerobatics,” said Denise Dull, President of the Florida International Air Show. “When those Texans thunder overhead, it’s not just entertainment — it’s a living tribute to the aviators who paved the way for modern flight. We are honored to share that experience with our community.”
Highlights of the 2025 Florida International Air Show include:
- Dynamic performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the F-16 Viper Demo Team
- A versatile roster of acts, including Aarron Deliu, Doug Litton, and The Chuters Jump Team
- Exciting new experiences like the Innovators STEM Pavilion and the Family Aviation Experience, both designed to engage and inspire audiences of all ages.
