LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Arizona --  The 56th Fighter Wing has moved the air show to April 2 and 3, 2016 in order to provide the public a more robust and dynamic experience. The event is free and open to the public.

The upcoming air show marks Luke's 75th year of operation since its founding in 1941.

The F-35 Lightning II and the F-16 Fighting Falcon will be among the static displays. The schedule of aerial performers and full list of aircraft on static display is being developed.

Luke welcomed more than 150,000 spectators per day during the air show weekend in 2014 and expects to host that many Arizonans next year.

As in past years, Luke AFB's website will feature a page dedicated to the 2016 air show which will provide additional information as it becomes available. Look for this web page to be active later this year on www.luke.af.mil.
