“Midnight to Fly at 2025 California International Air Show”

Archer Avi­a­tion announced this week that it plans to con­duct pub­lic flights of its eVTOL Mid­night air­craft on Octo­ber 4th and 5th at the 2025 Cal­i­for­nia Inter­na­tion­al Air Show in Sali­nas, Cal­i­for­nia, reports a press release. 

The Sali­nas Munic­i­pal Air­port is Archer’s test flight facil­i­ty, where the com­pa­ny has been fly­ing its eVTOL air­craft since 2021.

Mid­night is sched­uled to fly both days of the show as one of the ini­tial flights, fol­lowed by the Blue Angels, the USAF F‑16 Viper Demo team and more.

Archer plans to have near­ly 1,000 team mem­bers in atten­dance from its engi­neer­ing, oper­a­tions and flight test teams to cel­e­brate the home­town demo flights and to engage with fans, fol­low­ers and new­com­ers alike.

The Cal­i­for­nia Inter­na­tion­al Air Show is antic­i­pat­ed to draw more than 65,000 peo­ple. This year’s event marks the first time the Unit­ed States Navy Flight Demon­stra­tion Squadron, the Blue Angels, have per­formed at the Cal­i­for­nia Inter­na­tion­al Air Show since 2019.

Archer has been mak­ing sig­nif­i­cant flight test progress with its Mid­night air­craft as part of a series of per­for­mance flight tests. It recent­ly com­plet­ed two of its high­est alti­tude flights to date reach­ing alti­tudes of 7,000 and 10,000 feet. Pri­or to that, Archer’s Mid­night air­craft com­plet­ed its longest pilot­ed flight, fly­ing approx­i­mate­ly 55 miles in 31 min­utes.
