NAS Kingsville Forgets to Apply for Annual Blue Angels Air Show

 

STCN Staff

KINGSVILLE - Kingsville City Manager Mark McLaughlin said that the annual Wings Over South Texas Air show will not be coming to Kingsville in 2024 due to an oversight.

"When we found out we weren't on the list we made a few phone calls and found out that the Navy never applied for the air show locally here. It was a little troubling. We thought that they would have done that," he said. 

NAS-Kingsville usually host the air show every other year.

NAS-Kingsville did not issue a statement; however, the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) issued a statement that says, β€œThe Blue Angels remain hopeful to return to Kingsville in future airshows. The city has even volunteered to help the Navy defray the costs involved with holding the air show.”
