Experience one of the only airworthy F‑100 Super Sabres still flying the air show circuit — live at the 2026 Thunder Over Louisiana Air Show Presented by Kia of Lake Charles this August.

While it won’t be going that fast at the show, you’ll still feel that incredible power with every pass. The speed. The thunder. The unmistakable sound of a classic jet fighter carving through the sky.

This is an experience you’ll talk about long after the weekend ends. Secure your spot and be there when the F‑100 takes to the skies — get your tickets today. https://thunderoverlouisiana.com/tickets/

Founded in 1984, the Titan Aerobatic Team is one of the most decorated three-ship teams flying today.

Piloting the North American AT-6 Texan, nicknamed "The Pilot Maker," this team honors the legendary trainer that prepared WWII pilots for icons like the P-51 Mustang.

While these radial engines are known for their signature "bark" that echoes across the grounds, the team is best known for a seamless aerial dance, flying their vintage warbirds just feet apart in perfect formation.

FUN FACTS
History: The team started as a simple two-ship duo before evolving into the powerhouse team you see today.

Longevity: They have been a staple of the air show circuit for over 40 years!

The Aircraft: The AT-6 first appeared in 1938 and was the backbone of pilot training for the U.S. Army Air Corps.

Be sure to catch the Titan Aerobatic Team’s incredible performance this August 28-30!

We’re fired up to announce that two T‑38 Talons from Langley Air Force Base will be on ground display at the 2026 Thunder Over Louisiana Air Show Presented by Kia of Lake Charles!

But these aren’t just any Talons. These jets belong to the 7th Fighter Squadron, and instead of training new pilots, they play a far more electrifying role: They serve as adversary aircraft for the F‑22 Raptor!

That means these T‑38s go head‑to‑head with one of the most advanced fighters on the planet, helping Raptor pilots sharpen their skills for real‑world combat scenarios. They’re fast, sleek, and an important part of the behind‑the‑scenes training that keeps America’s air dominance top-notch.

And this summer, you get to see them up close!

These Talons will be joining the massive B‑52 on ground display, giving you two incredible chances to get up close to aircraft that define U.S. airpower. Don’t miss the chance to see them in person. Secure your tickets today and get ready for an experience you’ll remember forever! https://thunderoverlouisiana.com/tickets/
