CoxHealth partners with the Branson Wings of Pride Air Show

Branson Wings of Pride has announced that CoxHealth – the region's leading healthcare provider – is now the presenting partner of the Air Show for its inaugural Aug. 30 – Sept. 1 show at Branson Airport. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and USAF Raptor Demo teams will highlight the Labor Day weekend aeronautic spectacular. The official name of the event is now the Branson Wings of Pride Air Show Presented by CoxHealth.

This builds off March’s exciting announcement when, amid a surging demand for tickets, the Branson Wings of Pride Air Show Presented by CoxHealth extended the weekend dates to include Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 1. The event will be headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, in their first ever visit to Branson.

Additionally, the Air Show features demonstrations by the U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team, the U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, and an array of incredible aerobatic performers and static displays.

CoxHealth serves 25 counties across the region and is widely recognized for its award-winning care, community involvement and commitment to medical excellence and patient safety. As a sponsor of the Air Show, CoxHealth will be a partner in delivering to Branson a thrilling entertainment spectacle rivaling any air show across the nation.

“As an integral part of the Branson community, we are excited to support an event that adds an edge of thrill to the entertainment Branson is known for,” said William Mahoney, CoxHealth senior vice president and president of Cox Medical Center Branson. “Our hospital is celebrating 75 years serving this region, and what better way to give back to our community than by bringing together families, friends and neighbors for a historic weekend.”

The Air Show is produced by KC Aviation STEM, which uses ground-based aircraft for educational and experiential programs to inspire STEM students and those interested in aviation careers. CoxHealth’s shared commitment to STEM education – and introducing students to STEM careers early through programs like The Alliance for Healthcare Education – made the Air Show a natural partnership.  

“In healthcare, we know the power of professionals who mix science, skill and dedication,” Mahoney said. “At CoxHealth, we are committed to inspiring the next generation, and seeing the expertise on display at the air show will do exactly that.”

“We are deeply grateful for the incredible support we have received from our friends at CoxHealth,” said Kerry Floyd, Executive Director of Wings of Pride Air Shows, producers of the event. “The 2025 Branson Wings of Pride Air Show Presented by CoxHealth will bring a level of jaw-dropping thrills that must be seen to be believed.”
