International Air Show which had over 30,000 spectators who came to see the Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy’s flight demonstration squadron, and other aerial performances.“We’re looking at doing another air show in 2026,” Roach proffers. “It has been 20 years since the last major air show at Billings, and we hope there will continue to be air shows on a more regular basis.” THE MASTER PLAN Looking ahead, Roach reveals that the airport has initiated its Master Plan update, a 20-year look at future infrastructure needs that will help determine the airport’s ongoing capital improvement programs and attendant funding requirements.“The last airport Master Plan was updated 12 years ago,” he notes.“So, it is definitely time to take another look at what our airport should, and can be, in the next 20 years.” Congratulations to the Billings Logan International Airport on your terminal renovation and expansion project.
