The National Warplane Museum is pleased to announce the kickoff of their 38th annual airshow, The Greatest Show on Turf ! Advance ticket sales begin today at all Wegmans “That’s the Ticket” locations throughout Western and Central New York. Tickets purchased in advance for the July 14th and 15th Airshow are $20.00 per person. Kids under 13 are always admitted free with an adult. This year’s airshow theme will be “Wings of Western New York,” featuring the accomplishments of the many who have contributed to the aviation industry such as Glenn Curtiss and Calspan. The National Warplane Museum has been expanding its educational programs, interacting more with youth groups and working with school programs to emphasize not only the history behind these amazing aircraft and companies, but also to encourage visitors to reach further in their education and career goals to lean more towards aviation.
“Our special focus this year is another way we can encourage young men and women to explore career opportunities within the aviation field, whether it be commercial, civilian or a military affiliation.”
