✨ An Evening of Gratitude, Community & Celebration! 🇺🇸

Yesterday was a special evening for Silver Wings of Idaho as we gathered with our fellow board members, families, incredible sponsors, and friends to celebrate the people who help make the Gunfighter Skies Airshow possible!

We were honored to have the Mountain Home AFB Wing Commander in attendance, along with our airshow director and team and their families. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together, enjoy great company, and recognize the partnerships that make this event so special.

Our sponsors truly are the heart of the airshow. Their generosity, commitment, and support allow us to bring this incredible experience to our community. We simply couldn’t do it without them, and we are beyond grateful for each and every one of our supporters!

A special highlight of the evening was recognizing our sponsors and the base with some meaningful gifts.

We were proud to present a beautiful, hand-painted oil painting inspired by this year’s airshow poster, created by Mountain Home’s own Marcus Mashburn. With America celebrating its 250th anniversary, we wanted this piece to reflect the rich history of our nation over the past 250 years. Marcus captured that vision beautifully! He has generously shared his incredible talent with this project for the past several airshows, and we are so thankful for his continued support and artistry.

We also presented framed prints of this year’s airshow poster to recognize our valued sponsors whose generosity helped make the show possible.

The evening included an incredible surprise from the base as well: a special lithograph featuring the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, signed by the entire 2026 team. What an amazing and meaningful addition to the evening!

A huge THANK YOU to the Mountain Home Elks Lodge for being such wonderful hosts! The food, drinks, and hospitality were fantastic, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to gather.

From our board members and volunteers to our military partners, airshow team, families, and especially our generous sponsors, this eveningwas a wonderful reminder of what makes this community so special.

Thank you for believing in the mission, supporting the airshow, and helping us continue this incredible tradition.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today we pause to remember the heroes who never made it home.

While many spend the weekend gathered with family and friends, we honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted.

As you enjoy the day, take a quiet moment to remember those who served and sacrificed all. ❤️🤍💙

A few more special moments from Gunfighter Skies ✈️✨

Because of the wind this weekend, not everyone was able to see the Wings of Blue Parachute Team 🪂 or the Round Canopy Parachute Team, which makes these photos feel even more meaningful.

A special treat to be able to share these captured moments — truly incredible work behind the lens 📸

Huge shoutout to Jet Fuel Smoke & Thunder for bringing an absolutely unforgettable ground act to this year’s Silver Wings of Idaho Airshow! ✈️🔥

The Jet Car performance was a crowd favorite—nothing like the roar, fire, smoke, and pure adrenaline as the jet-powered car races down the runway and deploys its parachute at the end. It’s loud, fast, and an experience you don’t forget.

This photo was captured by Kyle Joseph (shared with permission), and I’m grateful to be able to highlight his work here on the Silver Wings page. 📸

What a fun and unique addition to the show, this act truly brought the energy all weekend long!
