The National Championship Air Races are more than an incredible display of speed. They’re a celebration of innovation, craftsmanship and the generations of people who keep aviation moving forward. At Edward Jones, we believe meaningful work is built the same way: with thoughtful planning, trusted relationships and a long-term perspective.

We’re proud to be here in Roswell, New Mexico to sponsor the 2026 National Championship Air Races and Air Show, and the community that makes this tradition possible.

Look what popped up in Carlsbad 👀

A big thank you to our sponsor, Admiral Beverage Corporation , for putting together this incredible National Championship Air Races display at a local grocery store.

Make your plans, grab your tickets, and we’ll see you in Roswell this September. 🌵
