The Hyundai Air & Sea Show featured the military men, women, technology and equipment from all branches on Miami Beach in Florida during Memorial Day Weekend.
The free, family friendly event commemorated service members who gave their lives in defense of the nation and celebrated service members and veterans with parachute demonstrations by the U.S. Army Parachute Team “Golden Knights” and the British Army Red Devils, flyovers by the Air Force, including an Air Force bomber-fighter dissimilar formation, “The Freedom Formation,” for the first time, and a military static display village.
The show also hosted an enlistment ceremony for over 150 new members of the military.
The air and sea show draws more than 500,000 people per day throughout Memorial Day Weekend each year.
