The U.S. Navy flight squadron announced Tuesday that it will hold a show in Billings on Aug. 22-23, 2026, as part of its nationwide tour.

Founded in 1946, the Blue Angels serve as ambassadors for the Navy's aerial program, showcasing flight maneuvers and formations at stops across the country.

The pilots also take time for community events while they're in town, including hospital and school visits, with the goal of inspiring children to consider a military career.
