Overview
- Fort Bliss announced Friday that the 2025 Amigo Airsho was canceled under shutdown rules limiting base events to national security or safety.
- Organizers said the decision came from Washington after a full practice day with FAA oversight and local commanders’ signoffs.
- The group will host a free Aviation Experience on Sunday, Oct. 19, from 4 to 6 p.m. at War Eagles Air Museum for ticket holders, sponsors, and volunteers.
- The museum event features meet-and-greets with scheduled performers and warbirds, including the Commemorative Air Force B-25 and C-47, civilian acts, a Top Gun F/A-18 experience, static aircraft, vendors, and access to the museum collection.
- Organizers report losses exceeding six figures and a volunteer-led teardown of installed infrastructure, and they say reserves and community support position the show to return in 2026.
