Thanks, Jandar, for putting this up.

This is going to be the BIGGEST AIR SHOW EVER, in the history of aviation. I mean that quite literally! ICAS, the International Council of Air Shows, has determined this fact based on the number of civilian performers--it will have more than 30 acts in a two-day period. It will have representation from all branches of the military, too!

How amazing to have this in our own little back yard! The show proceeds go to benefit two causes: MS research, and the Alan Henley Foundation. The money going to MS research will be going directly to the research, and none toward overhead. Alan Henley is the team lead of the AeroShell Aerobatic Team, and suffered a crippling spinal injury less than a year ago. The proceeds will help cover the immense cost of his treatment.
