HILL AIR FORCE BASE, April 14, 2026 (Gephardt Daily) — Ten weeks before it was scheduled to happen, the Warriors Over the Wasatch Air Show, at Hill Air Force Base, has been cancelled, or at least delayed a year.
The new dates for the Warriors Over the Wasatch Air Show are June 19-20, 2027.
The decision comes after “a thorough review of operational commitments,” a statement from Hill AFB says. “This change is a direct result of the need to prioritize resources for critical, ongoing missions within the U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility.”
Col. Dan Cornelius, 75th Air Base Wing commander, said he was sorry for any disappointment.
“This was not the outcome any of us hoped for,” he said in the prepared statement. “We know this news is a great disappointment to the community partners, performers, and thousands of supporters who make this event a success.
“We are committed to delivering an exceptional experience, and it became evident that with current constraints, we could not guarantee the quality and scale that defines the Warriors Over the Wasatch show and that our community deserves.”
The primary focus for base leadership remains on supporting its airmen and their families while ensuring all mission objectives are met, the statement says, adding that postpoing the show “is the most responsible course of action at this time.
“The unwavering support from our Utah community is invaluable, and we are profoundly grateful,” Cornelius said.
Utah Air Show Foundation executive director Kevin Ireland said he supports the primary mission of HAFB.
“We will continue to work on presenting the best air show possible as a partner to Hill AFB and look forward to our next opportunity in 2027.”
