  Airshow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An airshow is an event at which aviators display their flying skills and the capabilities of their flying machines, normally to the public, but occasionally to selected invited guests, or employees and their families only.
Airshows in the US that display the widest variety of modern military aircraft (helicopters, jet fighters, bombers, cargo aircraft, stealth aircraft, etc) are typically the ones held at Nellis AFB, NAS Oceana, and Andrews AFB.
The British equivalents are the airshows held in Duxford.
