Most years the performance schedule is highlighted by the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, who perform each day of the show.
In 2007, the United States Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, the Thunderbirds, performed at the show (the two teams never perform together ).
These performances mark the end of each day's aerial performance schedule, except for the Saturday twilight show.

Separately, the Navy's F/A-18 Super Hornet and USMC AV-8B Harrier usually fly individual demonstrations.
The MV-22 Osprey has also been featured since the 2011 show.
In 2014, the Marine Corps F-35B Lightning flew for the first time at the show.

Though focused on Marine Corps and Navy assets, the show also regularly includes U.S. Air Force aircraft, including the F-22 Raptor and other fighter aircraft when available.

The U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team frequently performs, and often jumps during the twilight show.
Since 1999, the show has often featured a Navy Legacy Flight, where modern jets fly in formation with aircraft from previous eras in celebration of military veterans and naval aviation history.

The show also attracts a number of civilian performers from the U.S. air show circuit, flying prop planes, jet aircraft and gliders.
Frequent performers include Sean Tucker's Oracle Challenger, the Red Bull Helicopter (a modified Messerschmitt-Bölkow Blohm BO-105 capable of aerobatic maneuvers), and the "Shockwave" Jet Truck, which also perform during the twilight show.
There is also a selection of radio-controlled planes.
