St. Joseph’s Sound of Speed Airshow has won a prestigious honor, being named the “Best Military Show Site” for 2024.

The recognition comes from the United States Air Force Thunderbirds who performed at the air show held at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in September that drew thousands to the airport. It is the second time the airshow at Rosecrans has won the award. The Thunderbirds also honored the St. Joseph airshow in 2021.

The award honors the contributions of the National Air Guard’s 139th Airlift Wing, the City of St. Joseph, Rosecrans Memorial Airport, and the Airshow’s Executive Committee.

St. Joseph was selected for the award from a field of roughly 75 military airshow sites.
