Official group photo by Caleb Menker
The IAC thanks its community for another fantastic year of competition and fun in Salina, Kansas for the 2026 U.S. National Aerobatic Championships. Everyone worked together to ensure a safe, efficient, memorable week-long event despite spending a significant amount of time waiting on uncooperative weather to make way for clear skies so the flying could commence!
We hope you enjoy this collaborative photo gallery of the competition. You can either scroll down to see the photos in the Flickr display window below, or you can click here to go to the gallery directly on the Flickr website.
With the exception of a few cases where the photographer credit is specifically listed in the photo file name or description, all photos in the gallery were posted voluntarily by competitors, volunteers, and other event attendees in the official competition photo WhatsApp chat. The collection of photos was a group effort, but if you see any of your own photos in the gallery that you'd like to be credited for, please email editor@iac.org to get the gallery updated with your name.
