HAMMOND — The U.S. Navy Blue Angels traveled to Hammond Northshore Regional Airport on Friday in preparation for the 2027 Hammond Northshore Regional Airshow.

The Angels made sure every detail for the upcoming airshow was in place, from an airspace waiver all the way down to the hotel they're staying in. 

The success of the show relies heavily on a network of about 1,000 local community volunteers. 

The Angels will travel to 32 cities, with organizers saying it takes an entire year to make sure everything is in place. 

Tickets for the airshow are expected to go on sale in early 2027.

Proceeds from the event will support local STEM education programs and aerospace pathways throughout the Tangipahoa Parish School District.
