Tora! Tora! Tora!, the Commemorative Air Force’s Pearl Harbor reenactment team, is scheduled to perform at the 2025 Quad City Air Show in Davenport, Iowa, on August 23 and 24. With a combination of WW2 aircraft and coordinated pyrotechnics, the performance offers a powerful, educational experience that pays tribute to the events of Pearl Harbor.
Now in its 34th year, the Quad City Air Show will take place at Davenport Municipal Airport and will feature a full lineup of military and civilian performers. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and U.S. Army Golden Knights are among the scheduled headliners, joined by acts such as Skip Stewart’s high-energy aerobatics, the HOT STREAK Jet Truck, and the Jack Aces P-51 Mustang demonstration team. Additional performances include a MiG-17, a P-40 Warhawk, motorcycle-versus-airplane stunts, and flag jumps at show opening.
Gates open at 8 a.m. both days, with a full day of programming on the ground and in the air. Attendees can explore static aircraft displays, STEM-focused exhibits, concessions, vendors, and live entertainment. A special WWII Dawn Patrol will launch each morning’s flying schedule.
General admission tickets are available to the public, with Commander’s Club and box seating options offered for an enhanced viewing experience. On-site parking is limited, and guests are encouraged to carpool or use alternate transportation.
Tora! Tora! Tora! was created by the Commemorative Air Force to educate the public and preserve the history of World War II aviation. The team’s traveling performance serves as a living history lesson, combining flight and firepower to ensure future generations never forget the legacy of that pivotal moment in American history.
The Quad City Air Show is the longest-running airshow in Iowa and remains a premier aviation event in the Midwest. Its combination of modern military power, classic warbirds, and community-focused programming continues to draw thousands of spectators each year.
