Fort Lauderdale Air Show Is Coming At Ya: What To Know About Tickets, Traffic And Thunderbirds

This weekend’s Fort Lauderdale Air Show is like last weekend’s Miami Grand Prix — just faster, louder, and you can be certain an American will win this time.  Featuring the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds back as headliners and the debut of the Ghost Squadron, the annual air show returns on Saturday and Sunday to fill the heavens with sonic rumbles and arcing contrails as hundreds of thousands of spectators scan the sky over the beach in Fort Lauderdale. A display of American firepower and fortitude — lots of wings, but no chickens up there — the air show is also a showcase for evolving shoreline hospitality offerings in the city.  With all due respect, this edition of the air show is, both from the pilot’s seat and your seat, the most spectacular setting in the six-city Air Dot Show tour.
