This weekend, the Blackpool Airshow is back with lots of people expected to come to the Lancashire seaside town to watch various aerial displays. On Saturday, August 10 and Sunday, August 11, many civilian and military aircraft will be flying above Blackpool. Some of the highlights on Saturday include the RAF Typhoon, Spitfire XIX & Mustang P51D, and the famous Red Arrows. Throughout the weekend, there will be performances by Swordfish, Wingwalkers, The Ravens, Muscle Pitts, and Calidus Autogyro.
