Indianapolis Air Show Next Weekend

A couple of year’s ago I went to the Indianapolis Air Show at Mt. Comfort airport a couple of years ago with my family and we had an absolutely great time! The kids loved it, it was a beautiful day and it was just an all-around great experience.

Last year we missed it, but there’s a great story even missing the event. We were at my son’s youth football game and at half-time, it just so happened that the Blue Angels flew right over our football field on their way to the Mt. Comfort airport. Not sure about you, but don’t know how many other youth football organizations get a fly-over (and they were low!) from the Blue Angels.

Getting back to the event though, they’ve got another great sounding line-up in store for us this year with the following acts scheduled to appear:

  • U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight
  • U.S. Navy Legacy Flight
  • U.S. Navy F/A-18C Hornet East Coast Demonstration Team
  • U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team
  • U.S. Air Force Combat Command F-22A Demonstration Team
  • Gene Soucy
  • John Klatt
  • Aldridge Airshows
  • Greg Koontz
  • and more

There’s also loads of planes and other air vehicles on the tarmac that you can see up-close and even sometimes take tours through and sit in. Another great memory for me and my kids were the pyrotechnic and explosion displays on the airfield. Just too much fun!

Here’s the deal though, I want to help promote this great event in the city and I’ve gotten contacted by the organizers and promoters to help do that. I want to hear about your experience at the Indianapolis Air Show. For the first 20 bloggers that write-up a post (or have already written a post) on their blog and link back to this site, I’ll get you a free pass to the event.

Just write-up a post, link back to this post and e-mail me if you have any questions. First 20 bloggers win!

UPDATE: If you don’t have your own blog, just e-mail me your story and I’ll post it here and that will get you passes too.

Once I get notification of the posts, I’ll update this one with direct links back to your post as well.

Here are the current winners:

    Like the post - looking forward to seeing what is submitted. Just curious - why no link for Indy Air Show or WTHR in the right column? Oversight? Looking forward to you sharing what is submitted. We’ll link to it when it happens.

    Just an oversight Mike. Actually some of the information is available on a set of pages that aren’t displaying in the navigation anywhere. I’ve added you on the sidebar now though. Thanks for stopping by the site.

    I would absolutely LOVE to take my family to the Airshow! We have wanted/tried to go the last 3 years, but just haven’t been able to make it– or couldn’t afford it. Now, my son is almost 5 years old and I know he would absolutely LOVE THIS!!! So, unfortunately, I can’t blog about the event, because I’ve not experienced it. However, I am really excited to potentially win some free tickets!

    I can say– one of my best friends takes her family EVERY YEAR… It’s a family tradition for them. Must be pretty good!
