Overview
- Hill Air Force Base, which announced the change Tuesday, moved the 2026 Warriors Over the Wasatch air show to June 19–20, 2027, citing critical, ongoing operations.
- The delay is hitting local vendors right away, with food truck owner Leilani Bugtong saying she canceled June catering after being picked to serve inside the show on base.
- The Utah Air Show Foundation said it supports the mission-first decision and will focus on delivering the event in 2027.
- Hill AFB said the biennial show will shift to odd-numbered years after the 2027 return, ending its long run on even years.
- The base did not detail the operations, and some outlets link the strain to Hill’s 421st Fighter Squadron and the Iran conflict, a connection the base has not confirmed.
