The Gunfighter Skies Air Show is underway May 16 and will continue May 17 at Mountain Home Air Force Base, with the event free and open to the public. Gates open at 9am both days, and the opening ceremony and flying begin at 11am.

The show is the focus of a photo article from Mountain Home Air Force Base, giving visitors a chance to attend the two-day event without a ticket price. For anyone planning to go, the schedule is straightforward: arrive after the gates open at 9am and be in place when the opening ceremony and flying begin at 11am.

That timing matters because the air show is limited to two days, and the schedule is the only concrete guide available to the public. With no additional event details provided, the main takeaway is the event window itself: May 16 and May 17 at Mountain Home Air Force Base.

For attendees, the answer to the immediate question is simple. Yes, the Gunfighter Skies Air Show at Mhafb is free and open to the public, and the best time to arrive is before the 11am start so they do not miss the opening ceremony and flying.
