LUCAS OIL POWERS MIKE WISKUS PERFORMANCE AT
2008 INDIANAPOLIS AIR SHOW
Lucas’ aerobatic pilot is among civilian and military performers scheduled for
Aug. 22-24 event benefiting children’s charities

(Indianapolis, Ind.) – Lucas Oil Products is known for being the power behind vehicles that generally stick to the ground. On August 22-24, however, the company will be showing off its interest in flying, as the sponsor of aerobatic pilot Mike Wiskus in this year’s Indianapolis Air Show.

Wiskus joins a long list of military and civilian performers scheduled to appear in the 12th annual
Indianapolis Air Show at Mt. Comfort Airport. Headliners for this year’s charity event are the U.S. Air Force’s F-22A Raptors, with the U.S. Army’s parachute team – the Golden Knights – and the U.S. Navy’s Super Hornet also on hand to wow the crowds.

If you’ve never seen a pilot such as Lucas Oil’s Wiskus perform, you’re in for some breathtaking sights! Smoke, noise and hard-core, high-flying aerobatics are on the agenda.

These additional pilots will also provide Air Show attendees with exciting thrills and chills:

Gene Soucy and Teresa Stokes – Wingwalking & ShowCat Biplane Aerobatic Solo
Greg Poe Air Shows – Fagen MX2 Aerobatics
John Klatt Airshows, Inc./ANG – Staudacher S-300D Aerobatics
Greg Aldridge Airshows – Super Chipmunk Aerobatics

Advance, discounted tickets for the 2008 Indianapolis Air Show are available online now at
www.indyairshow.com. Beginning in July, you will be able to buy discounted tickets at any Marsh, O’Malia’s or United Package Liquors store. Active U.S. military personnel will be able to attend the Air Show for FREE with current military identification.

Net proceeds from the Indianapolis Air Show, sponsored by Marsh, United Package Liquors and Indy Aero, go to the Central Indiana Community Foundation. The Indianapolis Air Show has donated more than $1.3 million through CICF to children’s charities since the show’s inception in 1997.
