All flyover and static display requests and approvals are managed by accessing the U.S. Air Force Aerial Events website at www.airshows.pa.hq.af.mil. Anyone may submit and track requests and receive notification of approvals/denials through this site. The site walks you through the process step by step. Requests will not be considered if submitted fewer than 45 days prior to the event. Once SAF/PA deems a flyover request as eligible for support, it is the requester's responsibility to find a unit to support the event. The site features a "Find an Aircraft" link that lists flying units across the country.
To request support, follow these steps in order:
1. Submit an online request through the U.S. Air Force Aerial Events website. (ALL U.S. Air Force Aerial Event request must start with submission on that website.)
2. Once you receive a request number from the online system, and approval from your local FAA Flight Standards District Office (if needed), e-mail a completed DD Form 2535 to AerialEvents@us.af.mil. (SAF/PA no longer accepts faxed or postal mailed requests.)
3. Once SAF/PA deems your request as eligible for support, you can request a F-35 flyover or static display from our unit by emailing 125FW.Aerial.Events@us.af.mil. Emails requesting support must include: your SAF/PA approval number, date/time/location of event, detailed request, anticipated crowd size, POC contact information.
***Eligibility determinations by SAF/PA do not guarantee support will be provided by a unit. 125th Fighter Wing flying units will determine if they can support the flyover request based on availability, training schedules, etc. If we are able to support your request, a representative will contact you to confirm and finalize the details.
