JANESVILLE—The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team announced today they will perform at the 8th annual Southern Wisconsin AirFest next year.

AirFest will be held May 29 to 31 at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport on Highway 51 between Janesville and Beloit.

Blue Angels representatives visited the area last week to check out the facilities and safety offered at the airport.

The Blue Angels were last at AirFest in 2005.

The Golden Knights are celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year.

As an Air Force Vet I prefer the Thunderbirds, but I suppose the Blue Angels will do...:)

Hell yeah! I love the Blue Angels! When I was a kid we would go to Seattle to see my grandparents and they always worked it out so we were there when the Blue Angels were performing. Those are some of my best childhood memories. I love watching all the things they can do with those planes. I want to go up in one. I wonder if they will give rides? I doubt it though.
