El Paso’s skies came alive this weekend as the Amigo Airsho 2026 took flight at Biggs Army Airfield, treating Borderland residents to one of the region’s most beloved annual aviation spectacles. The event, a longtime tradition in the Sun City, drew crowds eager to watch aerial performances above the historic military airfield on the east side of El Paso.

The Amigo Airsho has long served as a community gathering point, bringing together aviation enthusiasts, military families, and curious El Pasoans of all ages for a shared celebration of flight and the men and women who serve in uniform. Biggs Army Airfield, home to the U.S. Army’s aviation assets at Fort Bliss, provides a fitting and dramatic backdrop for the show’s roaring engines and precision maneuvers.

Events like the Airsho reflect the deep bond between El Paso’s civilian community and the military installations that call the Borderland home. Fort Bliss and Biggs Army Airfield are woven into the fabric of daily life here, and the annual airshow is one of the most visible and festive expressions of that relationship.

For many families, attending the Amigo Airsho is a cherished tradition passed down through generations — a chance to stand on the tarmac, look up in wonder, and feel a surge of pride in both the community and the country. Whether it was a first-time visitor marveling at aircraft up close or a seasoned attendee reconnecting with a favorite event, the 2026 edition of the Amigo Airsho delivered another memorable chapter in El Paso’s rich aviation history.

With the show taking place over the weekend, El Pasoans once again had the opportunity to come together under open skies and celebrate the spirit of the Borderland — a community that takes pride in its military heritage and its tradition of welcoming neighbors to share in the experience.
