American Dream TV: Pikes Peak Regional Airshow

Some events do more than entertain; they capture the spirit of a community. In Colorado Springs, that moment happens when engines ignite, wings slice through the clouds, and all eyes turn to the sky. The Pikes Peak Regional Airshow isn’t just a display of aircraft; it’s a high-octane celebration of innovation, heritage, and community pride.

For one unforgettable weekend, the Colorado Springs Airport transforms into a runway for inspiration, where aviation legends come to life and the thrill of flight brings people together. It’s a sky-high celebration of legacy, grit, and wonder, where military jets carve arcs across the clouds, historic aircraft whisper stories from the past, and thousands of spectators stand in awe below.

As featured in this segment of “The American Dream TV,” Monica Breckenridge — the powerhouse CEO of Pink Realty — takes viewers on a journey into this electrifying event. Her behind-the-scenes tour showcases more than just sleek jets and stunning maneuvers. It captures the energy, heart, and connection that make Colorado Springs a dynamic and inspiring place to call home.

Set against the backdrop of the legendary Pikes Peak, the Pikes Peak Regional Airshow transforms the Colorado Springs Airport into a buzzing hub of inspiration. For two dazzling days, the sky becomes a canvas for flight demonstrations that range from jaw-dropping modern jets to beautifully preserved World War II aircraft. It’s a full-spectrum tribute to aviation of the past, present, and future.

What sets this airshow apart isn’t just the aircraft but the atmosphere. On the tarmac, you can get up close with dozens of static displays, from fighter jets to bombers, all carefully maintained. Talk to pilots, walk beneath the wings of legendary warbirds, and immerse yourself in the mechanical poetry of aviation.

Whether you're a lifelong aviation enthusiast or a newcomer drawn by the thunder of engines, this show delivers something powerful: a sense of wonder, pride, and connection that stays with you long after the final flyby.

At its core, the Pikes Peak Regional Airshow is a living tribute. It honors not just the aircraft that shaped history but the men and women who flew them, maintained them, and relied on them in the most critical moments of our past. Veterans are celebrated, active-duty personnel are applauded, and every generation present — from young children to seasoned pilots — gets to witness the innovation and courage behind aviation milestones. For a weekend, everyone looks up in awe, reminded of the heights we can reach when we fly together.

The story of the Pikes Peak Airshow would be incomplete without highlighting the legendary Blue Angels. Since their founding shortly after World War II, the Blue Angels have epitomized discipline and dedication. With every roll, climb, and dive, they demonstrate not just the capability of their aircraft but the unshakable commitment of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

When the Blue Angels take to the skies, the crowd falls silent and then erupts in applause. There’s something breathtaking about their precision, a choreography of steel and fire that turns the sky into an arena. Their performances at the Pikes Peak Regional Airshow have become iconic, with fans traveling from across the state and beyond to witness the awe-inspiring stunts.

The Blue Angels aren’t just performers. They’re ambassadors of courage and professionalism, reminding every spectator of what’s possible when skill meets purpose.

Although the 2025 airshow is officially on pause, excitement is already building for its grand return in 2026. Organizers are planning an even more spectacular show, complete with returning favorites, new aircraft debuts, and enhanced experiences for attendees. If 2024 was any indication, the next event will raise the bar in every way.

Mark your calendar. When the Pikes Peak Regional Airshow returns, you won’t want to miss it. And if you're considering a move to Colorado Springs, events like this are a strong reminder of the community spirit and vibrant lifestyle that define this dynamic city.
