FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. ā€“ Fort Lauderdale is getting an air show in 2020 after all.

The show will feature U.S. Air Force fighter jet demonstration teams aboard the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lighting II, F-16 Viper and A-10 Thunderbolt II.

Fort Lauderdale City Manager Chris Lagerbloom said the Air Force extended its show season by a week to perform here.

ā€œThe U.S. Air Force is providing an unprecedented level of support by sending all of their fighter jet demo teams to perform,ā€ the air showā€™s co-chair Bryan Lilley added in a news release.

The show was originally scheduled for May 2-3.

Organizers are encouraging spectators not to gather in crowds to watch the demonstration.

ā€œThe stage for the Fort Lauderdale Air Show is two miles wide and 500 feet high,ā€ Lagerbloom said. ā€œSpectators can watch from their backyard, balcony, boat or the beach, making it the ideal event for our community to host in the era of social distancing.ā€

Safety measures at the event include a reduced number of tickets available for the ticketed watch areas. At those venues, masks are required except when sitting to watch the show separated by at least 6 feet from others.
