Held on the territory of The National Warplane Museum, the Geneseo Airshow is a unique event, which allows you to enjoy magnificent aircraft displays from the comfort of your car seat. The administration has prepared several viewing areas along the flight line with vehicles parked in rows. Each vehicle is assigned a private spot so that you and your close ones can enjoy the show.

The drive-in model of the show doesn’t exclude exploring the museum territory and engaging in other activities besides the aero shows, like the triumphant return of the USAF Air Combat Command F-22 Raptor Demo Team. World aerobatic champion Rob Holland headlines an impressive roster of performers, joined by other thrilling aerobatic displays. The lineup includes iconic aircraft such as C-47s, B-25s, a P-40, P-51s, a Spitfire, a Hurricane, and the B-17 “Yankee Lady,” with additional aircraft yet to be revealed. Additionally, there will be a showcase Night Before Normandy reenactment featuring a ground battle with pyrotechnics, a mass paratrooper jump, and other immersive experiences that bring history vividly to life.
Or, for example, you’ll have a chance to taste delicious dishes and drinks from local vendors. You are also welcome to grab your food. The only request from organizers is that you don’t bring any alcohol or glass containers. Similarly, you can freely access gift booths, various stores, the aircraft area, and the re-enactor location. For convenience, a shuttle will move you from one place to another.
The organizers are proud to announce that in 2024, guests can experience an enhanced hometown airshow with a revamped layout featuring additional aircraft on the field along an expanded flightline, broader general admission, and a greater variety of vendors and exhibitors for the crowd's pleasure.
Tickets
Tickets start at $40 per day (general admission), and prices go up to as high as $175. This way, you’ll pay anywhere from $80 to $350 per person for both days of the show. Kids 12 years old and younger can enter the show for free. General admission tickets don’t include an entrance to the seating area, so you may want to bring your own foldable chairs, blankets, and even golf-sized umbrellas. Just don’t bring a tent.
Parking
Parking lot spots are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis and according to your ticket color (red, blue, green, or teal). Every ticket includes free on-site parking. You can also park beside your friends, so tailgate them to the event to try it out. Plus, there will be a camping area on the museum’s territory.
