    CLINTON, Iowa – The Fly Iowa 2025 air show will be landing soon in this community. The show begins at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13, at the Clinton Municipal Airport.

    This community air show marks the 80th anniversary of the Clinton Municipal Airport and brings with it a lineup of  aerial performances, immersive ground experiences, and family-friendly fun. Admission is free. 

    “We’ve got legendary planes, world-class performers, fireworks, pyrotechnics and a drone light show — everything you could want in an air show,” said Marlana Nass, Clinton Municipal Airport manager. “We’re inviting everyone to come out, bring the kids, and experience the magic of flight at this free air show.”

    Event highlights include:

    • Vietnam-era themed sky theatrics with simulated bomb runs and pyro explosions.
    • Aerobatic stunts by headliners including Eric Edgren, Mike Vaknin, and Susan Dacy, and The Trojan Phlyers.
    • Flyovers and demos by Randy Ball with the MiG-17, Bird Dog, Skyraider, T28, Huey, and more.
    • Pay-to-ride helicopter flights.
    • Drone light show and fireworks finale to light up the night.

    “It’s been over a decade since Fly Iowa came to our region. This amazing free event will draw thousands,” said Kelly Goodsman-Smith, Fly Iowa Committee member. “There is plenty of parking at the airport. There will be a whole lineup of food vendors and activities in addition to the jampacked airshow. Kudos to the committee for putting together an amazing marquee event.”

    This event is made possible by the support of Clinton-area businesses, volunteers, and community sponsors. Fundraising is still ongoing, organizers said, to deliver the best possible experience, and local support continues to play a vital role.
