The 2023 Fort Lauderdale Air Show is back, but in the interest of public safety, has been delayed Sunday due to weather.

The show site and premium viewing venues will open at 1 p.m., which includes the Drop Zone, Sand Boxes, Flight Line Club, and VIP Penthouse. The flying will begin shortly thereafter.
