MANKATO — A decade ago, Mankato city leaders were looking to host a major air show every three years. That happened, more or less, with the Minnesota Air Spectacular held at the Mankato Regional Airport in 2012, 2015 and 2019.But aviation fans in south-central Minnesota are facing a lengthier gap between their opportunities to see the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds soaring over local skies.'We have not made any decisions at this point for future air shows,' said City Manager Susan Arntz. Each December at the annual convention of air show operators in Las Vegas, the preliminary schedule is released for the headliner aviation acts for the air show year starting 13 months later.
