Celebrate History Today, and at Chico Air Show!

2009-07-04T16:24:29Z

To my friends, family, fellow bloggers and the rest of the world: Happy 4th of July! As I write this, I'm celebrating the fact that as a free wheelin' independent girl in America I can: wake up whenever I want, stumble to the coffee pot and pour a cup of strong, steaming coffee; shuffle back to my computer and share my thoughts with the rest of the world. The list goes on, and includes one of my favorite events of all time: Chico Air Show.

There'll be something for everyone August 28-30th 2009 at the Chico Municipal Airport! This year, we've expanded the show to TWO days (Sat. and Sun 29-30), plus a Friiday evening preview show on the 28th.

Just one of the thrilling acts is the ACC West Coast Demo Team flying the A-10 (Pictured here). Also on tap is the B-17 Sentimental Journey, Dr. D's Old Tyme Aerobatics, the amazing C-17 Cargo Carrier and MORE. This is truly a family-friendly event... plan on bringing the kids out, and check out the FlightZone for Kids!

Tickets for the event go on sale in Mid-July. Keep checking www.chicoairshow.org for details, or call our headquarters at 530-230-1285.

Until then... Happy 4th!

Screaming Eagles Parachute Team Joins Chico Air Show!

2009-06-13T18:20:09Z

Excitement continues to build for Chico Air Show 2009 August 28-30, 2009 out at the airport. Latest developments...

The Army's 101st Airborne Division's Parachute Demonstration Team, the Screaming Eagles, will join the show, plus the return of the C-17 Globemaster. The Globemaster III is the newest, most flexible cargo aircraft to enter the airlift force. The C-17 is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. The aircraft can perform tactical airlift and airdrop missions and can also transport litters and ambulatory patients during aeromedical evacuations when required. The inherent flexibility and performance of the C-17 force improve the ability of the total airlift system to fulfill the worldwide air mobility requirements of the United States. For any of you who might have missed this last year... it's WELL worth coming out to see!

More to come. In the meantime, a BIG thanks to our event Title Sponsors, Northern California National Bank, Stott Outdoor Advertising and A Main Hobbies. For more info, check out our website at www.chicoairshow.org.
