What an incredible past weekend at Wings Over Meridian! 🎉

Two years of meticulous planning** paid off in every way, delivering a safe, seamless air show for our community.
50+ NAS Meridian Fire and Emergency Services personnel** brought their A-game with extensive training, readiness, and teamwork.

Over the 4 days while the performers took to the skies above NAS Meridian, there were no major incidents—a true testament to preparation, practice, and the professional ex*****on of seamless operations.

In the week leading up to the show, the crash fire rescue team on installation conducted rigorous training and rehearsals, achieving a one-minute response time inside the acrobatic box required during performances, meeting FAA high-performance flying requirements for the Blue Angels, the F-22 demo team, and the F-35 demo.

We couldn’t have kept the installation safe without the support of our mutual aid partners—our gratitude for the teamwork and collaboration is limitless.

A special shoutout to NAS Security/Military Police for an outstanding job—your dedication underpins every success we celebrate.

Thank you to everyone who supported Wings Over Meridian. Your dedication, courage, and teamwork made this event possible and incredibly memorable for our NAS family and the Meridian community. On to the next safe, spectacular chapter together! 🚁✈️👏
