Welcome to Andrews!

By Col. Jun. S. Oh 316th Wing and Installation Commander

Friends and neighbors, On behalf of Joint Base Andrews, welcome to this year’s Air Show! We are honored to open our gates to you and your families to share in the history, excellence, and innovation of military aviation. This year’s theme, “Where Legacy Fuels the Future,” reflects our commitment to honoring the generations who came before us while inspiring those who will carry our mission forward.

Joint Base Andrews has long played a vital role in our nation’s defense, home to missions ranging from global airlift and aeromedical evacuation to the transportation of our nation’s senior leaders. The dedication and professionalism of our joint team -- composed of Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Guardians, and civilians -- represent the very best of military service. Today’s event is our opportunity to share that pride with you and thank you for your enduring support to our military members, federal civilians, and their families. Your unwavering support is vital to the success of our mission. We couldn’t train, innovate and serve at the highest level without knowing our friends and neighbors stand behind us. Thank you for making us a welcome part of this community! We’re glad you’re here to help us celebrate this special occasion. Whether you’re a lifelong aviation enthusiast or a young guest seeing a jet up close for the first time, we hope today leaves you with a deeper appreciation of our legacy and excitement for what lies ahead. Enjoy the show!
