Yom Haatzmaut Fly Over Air Show: May 2027

Typically, every Yom Haatzmaut, the Israeli Air Force arranges a special air show and flyover that passes over much of the country. The show features a range of aircraft from the IAF fleet, including acrobatic planes, and lasts around 45 minutes. The aircraft passes over most major towns and cities in the country. A series of flyovers heads from Beer Sheva to Jerusalem, through the Jordan Valley, over the major towns and cities of the Galilee, and then back down the Mediterranean Coast, passing Tel Aviv and passing over the cities of the Negev. Other fly-overs cover the southern Negev and the center of the country.

The show can be seen from Beer Sheva, Yeruham, Dimona, Arad, Kiryat Gat, Jerusalem, Beit She’an, Afula, Nazareth, Tiberias, Katzrin, Safed, Carmiel, Nahariya, Haifa, Caesarea, Netanya, Tel Aviv & Ashdod. There are also displays of combat aircraft over Eilat, Arava, and Mitzpe Ramon. Last year, the show was canceled for security reasons. We will provide an update closer to the event date regarding whether this year’s air show will take place.
