OFFICIAL SHOW LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE! Tickets are now on sale for the July 26-27 2008 Air Show. The show will take place at the Lethbridge County Airport, with TORA TORA TORA as our headline performance. Tora Tora Tora is a re-enactment of the historical attack on Pearl Harbor. Not only will Lethbridge audiences be treated to theatre in the sky, but an explosive exciting history lesson. This group of performers is coming all the way from Texas, so it is important that we recognise this rare oportunity to see this "once in a life time" event.
Lethbridge will also see the Canadian Military's recently puchased C-17 Globemaster. Our show will be the only Canadian air show to see a flight demonstration of this aircraft from the 429 Squadron in Trenton. WWII Buffs might recall that Lethbridge had adopted the 429 Squadron.
Our very own 18th Air Defence Regiment, with the support of the 41st Brigade and 1 Canadian Air Division are teaming up to provide a combined force demonstration. Lethbridge's 18th Air Defence will take centre stage to show how the "boots on the ground" operate and use their equipment. With the Air Force contribution, and preparation involved - this demonstration is unprecedented at public air shows.
This year's show is so jam packed with performances and excitement, that we've had to extend our performance times. Begining at 10:30am with the "Morning Show" and our "Main Show" at Noon. With 5 Performers from right here in Alberta, plus many from all over North America, this is truly a HUGE international show.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
This year's show is also taking place in support of STARS Air Rescue. As many of you may or may not be aware - the Lethbridge International Air Show Association has always supported many local charities and non-profit groups. Thousands of dollars are donated back to the community with each and every air show to groups such as the Rotary Club, Knights of Columbus & Boy Scouts (Just To Name A Few). We are proud to include STARS this list, as it provides the Air Show Association the opportunity increase our "Give Back" to an even larger part of the Alberta Community. TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE!
