The 2023 Joint Base Lewis-McChord Airshow & Warrior Expo takes place at McChord Field. This will be JBLM’s first airshow in seven years. The all-day event will feature the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds as the marquee act. The JBLM Airshow & Warrior Expo theme is “Warriors Wanted: Explore Your Destiny.”
In addition to more than a dozen air acts, hundreds of JBLM Soldiers and Airmen will be on hand with dozens of airframe and vehicle ground displays from JBLM. This will showcase the equipment used at the base every day, and the public will be able to go inside the planes, helicopters, and vehicles on display, and speak directly with the crews who operate them.
The 2023 Airshow & Warrior Expo will also celebrate 50 years of women in modern military aviation and 30 years of women in combat aviation.
