Airshow

Thousands of people attended the 10th annual TBM Avenger Reunion and Airshow on Friday, May 16, 2025 at the Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru. This year marked the 10th annual event. This year was highlighted by the F-16 Viper Demo Team, TITAN Aerobatic Team, fireworks and much more.

The F-16 Viper Demonstration Team arrived at Peru Municipal Airport on Thursday before they take flight in the 10th anniversary TBM Reunion airshow on Friday. The team was greeted by local kindergarten students upon arrival who were already on base for a tour of the installation and received tours of the aircraft.

When Brad Deckert invited 10 TBM Avenger’s to Peru in honor of his 50th birthday in 2015, he never imagined it would transform into the city’s “signature event"

The Commemorative Air Force will hold its AirPower History Tour with legendary aircraft available for viewing, touring and even riding.

After a hiatus last year, the Northern Illinois Air Show will return to Waukegan National Airport with a wide array of attractions both on land and in the sky.

A visual feast of flying is coming to the Whiteside County Airport this weekend as well as a variety of events.
