What an incredible day it was welcoming so many members of our local community to the Rochester Airport Airshow!
After many years away, seeing the event return was a proud moment. It followed months of planning and close collaboration between the Flight Display Director and the CAA to ensure a safe, exciting and memorable air display for everyone.
The skies came alive as our Invicta Horses showcased the incredible capabilities of the grassroots Cessna 152 with a dynamic and thrilling close-formation display. Spectators were also treated to a truly special sight as the Pitts Special joined the iconic Spirit of Kent Spitfire for unique formation passes, before delivering an energetic and breathtaking aerobatic performance.
Here at Invicta Aero Club, we were delighted to introduce 55 people to the joy of flight, alongside helicopter rides, a funfair, great food and plenty of family entertainment throughout the day.
As our first airshow in many years, we’ve learned valuable lessons that will help make the next event even better. The enthusiasm and support from our community has been truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to build on this success and welcome you back for an even bigger and better Rochester Airport Airshow in 2027.
Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, participated and supported the event. Together, we’ve taken the first step in bringing this fantastic tradition back to Rochester and the future is looking brighter than ever.
