Kids will be able to get that thrill once again, as the Thunder of Niagara Air Show will take place on June 19-20, 2021, at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station.

According to WKBW, the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels are officially confirmed to be the headlining act at the air show, which hasn't taken place since 2018.

The Thunder of Niagara Air Show director is Lt. Col. Ben Canetti of the 914th Operations Support Squadron, and he's excited about the show and the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels.

"NFARS is proud to have the Blue Angels as the headline act of the 2021 Thunder of Niagara Air Show, which is free and open to the public, said Lt. Col. Ben Canetti. This event is intended to express our appreciation for the continued outstanding community and employer support for our troops both stateside and overseas."

According to the event's Facebook page, they are preparing for the show to go on as normal, but will adjust for COVID-19 guidelines as need be.

The Blue Angels are amazing and this event next summer is free!
