DESCRIPTION: The Air Force’s newest, most advanced fighter jet is heading to Central Indiana this summer to thrill the crowds at the 12th Annual Indianapolis Air Show.



The F-22A Raptor tops a list of performers that also includes the U.S. Army’s parachute team, the Golden Knights, as well as numerous world-class civilian aerobatic entertainers. Wing walkers, aerobatic pilots, a hot air “balloonathon,” Warbirds, NASA's "Journey to Tomorrow," and additional military exhibits will also be featured during the event.



Net proceeds from the Indianapolis Air Show go to the Central Indiana Community Foundation. The Air Show has donated more than $1.3 million through CICF to children’s charities since the show’s inception in 1997.
