Organizers Promise A "Spectacular" Event Honoring Veterans

The arrival of the St. Augustine Air Show usually elicits feelings of excitement from residents all over Florida, but in St. Augustine particular. Organizers say this two-day annual event is filled with thrills and entertainment for the families viewing the show.

The St. Augustine Air show dates back to 1967 and is an event that is geared towards honoring Military Veterans both past and present. Flight demonstrations, static displays and other activities mark this great event. The children are not left out as activities are also arranged for them. Aerobatic, military and civilian aircraft all participate in the activities.

"The event will be spectacular," says Craig Fordem, the President of St. Augustine Air Shows. "There will be performances by world-renown aerobatic pilots as well as many outstanding military exhibits and static displays. We are planning events for the whole family that recognize and support the contributions made by our veterans. This will be a celebration of the true spirit of Memorial Day."

Performers confirmed for the show include Gene Soucy Airshows and Airshow Aces, Team MS760, the Shockwave Jet Truck, the Viper East Team, the Misty Blues all-woman skydiving team, the Heavy Metal Jet Team, and others.

Organizers says the St. Augustine Air Shows also presents an opportunity for several businesses and companies to promote their products and services through their unique marketing opportunities that cost far less than what is charged for such marketing efforts, especially locally.

Tickets are available online on the show's website.
