US Navy Blue Angels land in El Paso for Amigo Airsho

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- The U.S. Navy Blue Angels landed in El Paso for this weekend's Amigo Airsho. They're part of this year's "Red, White and Blues" spectacular.

After a 12-year hiatus, the Amigo Airsho took to the El Paso skies in 2024, showcasing the unique relationship between the city of El Paso and Fort Bliss.

This year's airshow will feature a display of military aviation acrobatics by the Blue Angels and the U.S. Airforce F-22 Raptor on Oct. 24-25.

ABC-7 met with the Blue Angels after their arrival in the Sun City.

"My inspiration came as a young child, said one of the Blue Angel pilots. "I was brought to airshows and saw the Blue Angels perform and thought maybe one day that could be me. I'm in a 20-year career now."

The Amigo Airsho will take place Saturday and Sunday at Biggs Army Airfield. Find an event guide here.
