FARGO (KFGO) – The Fargo AirSho 2021 is a “go.” Co-chair Dick Walstad says careful planning with the coronavirus in mind is underway for the event on July 24 and 2 at Hector International Airport.
Walstad says there will be guidance from Fargo-Cass Public health and people from the medical community are part of the planning committee to make sure the show is safe.
He anticipates there will likely be additional adjustments required prior to the air show which could be one of the largest outdoor events since the pandemic hit North Dakota, drawing as many as 30,000 people.
Walstad is optimistic a good share of the population will be vaccinated by the time the air show is held and many of the restrictions now in place may not be by then.
The Navy Blue Angels will return to the skies above the Fargo area as the headliners at the two-day show. Their 2021 appearance was confirmed last December.
The Commanding Officer and Flight Leader is Fargo native Brian Kesselring. It’s the Blue Angels 75th Anniversary and the first season the elite squadron will be flying the new FA 18 Super Hornet.
The team had its entire 2020 show season canceled due to COVID-19
