    Have you ever wanted to get up close with a fifth-generation military aircraft?

    The free Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show and Open House is your chance to get an up-close look at both the KC-46A Pegasus and the F-35 Lightning II--and see them fly. The event will take place at Pease Air National Guard Base, Sept. 9-10. Admission and parking are free, but guests must make a parking reservation in advance.

    The show will feature a variety of aerial performers, including:

    U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper demo team,
    Vermont Air National Guard F-35A Lightning II
    NH ANG KC-46 Pegasus
    US Special Operations Command Para Commandos
    Rob Holland
    P-51C Mad Max – Lou Horschel
    Kent Pietsch
    Smoke-N-Thunder Jet Truck

    Not all the action is in the sky. Guests can walk through a KC-46A Pegasus, take a picture in front of an F-35A Lightning II, get up close to an AH-64 Apache helicopter, and catch some shade under a B-52 Stratofortress. Also on static display will be a CH-47 Chinook, F-15 Eagle, C-5 Galaxy, KC-10 Extender, KC-135 Stratotanker, and a ski-equipped LC-130.

    Following on the success of the 2021 event, the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) display will expand to two hangars and a portion of the base’s ramp. STEM exhibitors will include:

    Pfizer
    Beta
    ARMI
    DEKA
    FIRST Robotics
    1000 Drones for 1000 Girls
    Academy of Model Aeronautics
    Lonza
    Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
    Parking is scheduled to open at 8 a.m. and gates at 9 a.m.
