Just announced "Prowlers of the Pacific" will be our headliner for our June 30-July Warbird Salute Air Show!

The act will feature the SB2C Helldiver (CAF West Texas Wing), SBD Dauntless (CAF Dixie Wing), FG-1D Corsair (CAF Dixie Wing) and Nakajima B5N Kate replica (Japanese Bomber, LLC). There will also be tons of Hollywood style pyrotechnical explosions!

That's the act I was guessing the warbird headline would be. Awesome! Hope I can make it this year. Seeing the Helldiver and Dauntless is always a treat.

In terms of other entertainment, we'll also feature our usual nightly concerts plus more TBA (one will catch the attention of all you aviation peeps). The Great Lakes Timber Show & Tim Dyson FMX Motorcycle Stunt Show will also have multiple showtimes daily.

Looking like a great lineup for both shows!

Wow, that weekend lineup looks amazing! I hope I can make it this year.

We have added another big addition. However, we are waiting to announce until we can confirm if they will be here for both shows or not.

In other news, we have been solidifying our outside of air show activities. So, for those that want to spend a full day at the event, we have a lot more activities planned. These will all be announced at a later date as well.

We have set our Admission & Parking Prices for the 2018 Event. Though our budget has increased, we have decided not to raise prices.
Parking will be $5 every day with the exception of June 28th (when it will be FREE).

Admission on Air Show Days will be $10.00 ($8.00 with a coupon that you can print from the website www.bcballoons.com). To reiterate, that's the admission price for June 30, July 1, July 3 & July 4. Those are usually 12+ hour days for us too, so you get major bang for your buck.
Admission on June 28th & June 29th are FREE. July 2nd is $5.

For those members that provide media coverage or are seeking media credentials, the form will be up on our website soon!

It's going to be a fun time.

Can’t wait! This’ll be my first time seeing the helldiver and the dauntless in the air!

US Navy Super Hornet Demo (VFA-106) confirmed.

Working on a 4-Ship Legacy Flight. Hopefully that gets approved too
