Greetings Everyone,
I was just speaking less then a week ago about not hearing anything about the Airshow industry’s effects from a serious down turning economy when I heard that Wings over Pittsburg has cancelled its show. They don’t give any reason but I am sure it has a lot to do with the required community support (crowd control/police/misc event costs). It is very sad news, for the industry and especially for the Pittsburg community.
With dwindling tax revenues, I’m very surprised we haven’t seen more to date, granted it is only March 2st.
Casualties so far:
2009 Freedom Airshow at Goshen Airport is cancelled

2009 Cape Giralrdeau Airshow Missouri
2009 Wings over Owensboro, Ky Cancelled
2009 Millville NJ Airshow Cancelled
2009 Minnesota Air Spectacular (Mankato Regional Airport) Cancelled
2009 Wings over Pittsburg
