The NJ Airshow will return to Greenwood Lake Airport for its 16th year on Father's Day weekend, with a day-to-night lineup of aerial acrobatics and a new jet ready to set off 900 pounds of pyrotechnics.
Also called the Greenwood Lake Airshow, the three-day event will take place from June 13 to June 15 at the West Milford airport, located at 126 Airport Road. Tickets and parking passes are only available online.
Last year, around 38,000 people attended the show, according to event organizer and owner Tim Wagner. He expects about 40,000 people this year, he said.
“If you’ve been to airshows before, you haven’t been to my airshow. You have never seen what I’ve put on,” Wagner said.

This year there are two performances making their debut: NextGen Eagles and Skip Stewart. NextGen Eagles performs formation aerobatics while Stewart executes low-level flying maneuvers. Among new things to see, Bob Carlton and his FoxJet have appeared before in the show but will perform with a newly modified jet that will be packed with pyrotechnics.
Each day at the airshow features performer introductions, an opening ceremony, a night show and a grand finale. The finale includes a laser show, fireworks, a firewall, a jet truck and Redline’s pyrotechnic flight. Redline Aerobatic team is a father-son duo, Ken Rieder and Austin Rieder. They perform side by side formation aerobatics.
