National Championship Air Races and Air Show - Thursday

Thursday at the National Championship Air Races and Air Show brings a full day of aviation spectacle to Roswell. This is the first full day of racing for the various classes, from biplanes to jets, alongside aerobatic demonstrations. Expect to see some of the fastest piston-powered aircraft in the world competing on the course. The event runs all day at the Roswell International Air Center. It's a large outdoor venue, so plan accordingly for sun and walking. This day is often a good option for those who want to catch the racing action and qualifying rounds without the larger weekend crowds.
