No airshows this year?

Come on Arizona, I know the economy sucks but I've still got a few bucks to take the kiddies to an airshow! Anyone know of any happening in AZ this year? Or was there one already that I missed? Thanks!

LOL, great. With the cost of gas, if I start saving up now, I'll have enough by the time October comes.

Seriously though hmmm, that could be fun. Get a hotel, make a weekend of it. Prescott's nice that time of year, albeit a little chilly for this Valley of the Sun scannist.

Thanks for the info.

If you click on the Prescott link you will notice that the 2008 Fair is cancelled, due to a lawsuit over the midair collison that killed 5 persons prior to the 2007 Airfair.

Aw nerts....

Guess I'll have to see what's happening in SoCal this year. I've got plans to head that way sometime anyway.

In Tucson the Air show runs every other year at DM. In the off years they have the herritage confereance. Dont be fooled by the word "herritage" they have old and new planes, including F-22's, F-16, A-10's. Just to name a few. This year is a off year. If you can get on base for this its a bit more mellow, however you missed this one. The pilots are flying for certifications for special events like Nascar, Air Shows, and other sporting events.

One small correction, the Heritage Conference is held every year, as all of the pilots, vintage and current, must certify or re-certify to fly in these formations.
