The wildly popular Red Arrows will head up the show, taking to the skies on both days of the festival to perform their impressive aerobatic displays.
The Typhoon FGR Mk4 is a favourite in Ayr, having performed at our airshow each year since 2023, much to the delight of the crowds. This highly capable combat aircraft puts on a show that’s exciting for both the eyes and ears – roaring through the sky as it performs high-speed agile manoeuvres.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) maintains historical aircraft in airworthy condition with the mission of commemorating those who have lost their lives in service. The BBMF will bring a new line-up of aircraft this year, with the Douglas C47 Dakota displaying for the first time at our airshow following a major restoration alongside two iconic Spitfires.
The Falcons’ display has been immensely popular in previous years, so we’re delighted to welcome them back once again to wow the crowds with their thrilling freefall routine which concludes in the landing zone on the Low Green.
The Grob 115E, known as the Tutor T Mark 1 – a versatile training aircraft used for Elementary Flying Training, pilot grading, and flying instruction.
The Belgian display team will take to the South Ayrshire skies to put on a daring display in the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco aircraft
The team’s dynamic flying display showcases the agility of this aircraft, highlighting its short take-off and landing (STOL) performance and manoeuvrability.
Airborne Pyrotechnics return to the airshow with a special soundtrack!
The much-loved display team will take to the skies on Friday 4 September for a twilight performance with LEDs and pyrotechnics; and Saturday 5 September for their afternoon display using colourful smoke.
Their performances will be accompanied by a newly discovered piece of music by world-renowned film composer, the late James Horner, recorded by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO).
The Chinook will perform a special flypast at the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight!
The helicopter is instantly recognisable by the two sets of rotor blades sitting on top of the aircraft, which rotate in opposite directions. These rotor blades, which enable it to perform advanced manoeuvres, make an unmistakable sound that audiences can hear long before the Chinook is in sight!
This display team are famous for their fearless routine where two 1940s Boeing Stearman biplanes perform loops and rolls while wingwalkers perform synchronised acrobatics atop the wings.
The wingwalkers experience up to 4 times the force of gravity as the aircraft reaches speeds as high as 150mph. Performers change position and rotate on the swivelling rig seat, demonstrating strength, coordination and precision. For some of the more daring moves in the routine, they even dismount from the seat to strike a pose with one leg raised high.
These three historic aircraft are part of the Navy Wings core collection, owned and operated by the Fly Navy Heritage Trust.
Navy Wings is a collection of naval aircraft of historical importance, preserved and flown with the aim of educating the public about naval history and paying tribute to men and women who have flown, maintained or contributed in any way to the operation of aircraft in the Fleet.
