Colorado Sport International Air Show

DENVER, Colorado, December 4, 2008 — Colorado Sport Aviation, Inc. (CSA), the 501©(3) non-profit corporation which organizes the Colorado Sport International Air Show and Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In, today announced that its Board of Directors is excited to bring its 2009 Air Show and Fly-In to the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport August 22 & 23, 2009.

"We are anticipating something truly spectacular as we work together to incorporate the very successful annual Metro Airport Open House into our event," said Jim Cimiluca, CSA's president and event chairman. "The CSA Board is very excited about the new venue, because it brings the event into the Denver metro area, making it easily accessible to aviation enthusiasts all along the Front Range. In addition, the venue provides a stunning backdrop for the air show as well as excellent accommodations for fly-in aircraft, camping and all the activities associated with the fly-in. Metro Airport's added onsite capabilities and easy access to many local businesses, accommodations, and restaurants in the Denver metro area will also enable the event to reach its desired future potential."

"Metro Airport is happy to partner with CSA to bring this great event into the Denver metro area and help expand its future potential," said Kenny Maenpa, Airport Manager. "We are pleased to host an event which not only serves pilots and the aviation industry throughout the Rocky Mountain region, but also provides family fun and enjoyment for our neighbors in the surrounding communities and across the State."

The RMRFI has a 29-year history of bringing the fun and fascination of general aviation to the Colorado Front Range and previously has been held in Greeley, Longmont and most recently Watkins. CSA did not hold an event in 2008, but rather spent the time reorganizing its partnership with the Experimental Aircraft Association and making all the necessary arrangements to move the event to its new venue.

Information on the event, including all the additional services and amenities available at the new venue, will be posted CSA's new web site at www.CoSportAviation.org as it becomes available. CSA is currently finalizing negotiations with Metro Airport and expects to begin planning meetings for the 2009 event this month. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the event, please visit the web site frequently for all the exciting opportunities to become involved with this event.
