Rotors ’N Ribs Returns In 2018

One Of The Nation's Largest Helicopter Fly-Ins Is On For July 6th In Goshen, IN

One of the nation’s largest helicopter fly-ins, Rotors ’n Ribs, will take place the evening of Friday, July 6, at the Goshen Municipal Airport (KGSH) after a 1-year hiatus. As an exciting twist this year, the event will share the weekend with America’s Freedom Fest, a massive air show and fireworks display expected to draw over 25,000 spectators.

According to Randy Sharkey, Goshen Municipal Airport Manager and Director of Operations for Sweet Helicopters: “Interest has been overwhelming from the helicopter community to have the show return this year, so we’re doing just that, thanks to support from Airbus and Sweet Helicopters.”

“Rotors ’n Ribs 2018 will be more intimate than in years past, but there’s no doubt it will be as fun as ever,” continued Sharkey. “We’re very fortunate that we can share the weekend with America’s Freedom Fest, so our attendees have the opportunity to experience one of the largest single-day air shows in the country should they choose to stay the night.”

Rotors ’n Ribs 2018 will begin with a social hour at the Sweet Helicopter hangar at 5PM EST, followed by a Town Hall meeting at 6PM with a keynote address from special guest speaker Chris Emerson, President of Airbus Helicopters, Inc. Mr. Emerson is a nearly 20-year veteran of the aerospace industry and has filled numerous management and leadership roles within Airbus and its affiliates. At the conclusion of the Town Hall, attendees will head to the VIP Chalet around 7PM, where the staff from Tony’s Restaurant of Findlay, Ohio, will cater their celebrated barbecue ribs.

The evening will top off with a private show from some of the biggest acts in the air show industry, including Shockwave Jet Truck, Rob Holland, the Aerostars, the Sky Soldiers, and the United States Army Golden Knights Parachute Team! Rotors ’n Ribs 2018 is open to all helicopter owners, pilots, and enthusiasts. Pilots flying in should monitor the Unicom frequency of 123.050 for landing instructions. Pilots choosing to remain overnight and attend America’s Freedom Fest on Saturday will be given free admission passes for Saturday’s event.
