'''Springfield Air Show''' was a large public aviation exhibition held at a [[U.S. Air Force Base]], featuring military aircraft, aerial demonstrations, and aviation exhibits.

== History ==
The Springfield Air Show attracted thousands of visitors with static aircraft displays, flight demonstrations, and military exhibits. Among the featured attractions were the Harrier Jump Jet, the [[Wright brothers]]' Model B aircraft, and exhibits where visitors could tour military planes. The event also included concession stands, souvenir displays, and aviation-themed presentations hosted by Colonel Leslie "Hap" Hapablap. During the show, [[Homer Simpson]] mistakenly purchased several cups of [[Alcohol-Free Duff]] after believing a concession stand was offering free beer, while [[Milhouse]] accidentally activated an F-15's ejection seat and crashed into a snack bar.

The event was abruptly interrupted when [[Sideshow Bob]], who had infiltrated the air base after escaping a prison work detail, hijacked the stadium's giant video screen. He announced that he had stolen a ten-megaton nuclear weapon and threatened to detonate it unless [[Springfield]] eliminated television within two hours. The announcement triggered a mass evacuation of the air show, while military personnel and city officials searched the base in an effort to locate Bob and prevent the attack.

[[Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson]] eventually discovered that Sideshow Bob was hiding aboard the [[Duff Blimp]] floating above the air show. After Lisa secretly alerted the authorities, the military surrounded the blimp. Although Bob attempted to escape in several aircraft before making a final attempt to crash a Wright brothers' airplane into [[Krusty the Clown]], he was captured.
