International Team to Fly Vectren Dayton Air Show
Dayton, Ohio – Vectren Dayton Air Show officials announced today that the Força Aérea Brasileira Esquadrilha da Fumaça (the Brazilian Air Force Smoke Squadron) will appear on July 7th and 8th at the 2012 Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger. The squadron is known for its fast-paced, 
close-up aerobatics and spectacular smoke displays. In total, nearly 56 personnel from the Brazilian Air Force and media will participate in the July show at the Dayton International Airport. Currently led by LtCol Wagner Esteves, the Fumaça will travel to Dayton in eight Embraer T-27 Tucano jet-prop aircraft and a Brazilian Air Force C-130 Hercules support aircraft. Appearing in Dayton in both 2007 and 2009, the Smoke Squadron delighted spectators with their graceful, ballet-like maneuvers in the sky.
“Complicated logistics involved in an international tour make it very difficult for a foreign flight team to travel to the United States,” stated Michael Emoff, Chairman of the United States Air & Trade Show Board of Trustees, the governing organization of the show. “We are ecstatic that the Brazilian Air Force has elected to send the Fumaça back to Dayton; they are an awesome addition to an already fantastic show lineup,” Emoff added.
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels will headline the 2012 show. Other show features announced in March and December include the Sea Harrier, a vertical takeoff and landing jet aircraft; TORA TORA TORA, an emotional reenactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor complete with pyrotechnics; Michael Goulian, an acclaimed, high-energy aerobatic performer; P51 Quick Silver, a beautifully restored WWII fighter; Gene Soucy Air Shows, barnstorming and wing walking at its best; the Misty Blues, the world’s only all-woman skydiving team; and the A-4B Skyhawk, a Vietnam-era jet fighter.
Ticket prices will remain unchanged from 2011. The popular Chairman’s Club, LaRosa’s Pavilion, Family 4 Pack, and Blue Sky Chalet tickets are now on sale offering a range of seating amenities. Tickets can conveniently be purchased through our show website at www.daytonairshow.com. Many of these venues sell out early, so don’t wait to get your tickets.
Beginning May 21, 2012, deep discount general admission tickets will also be available for purchase at over 100 Kroger stores in the Dayton-Cincinnati region.
Founded in 1975, the Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger is one of America’s premier air shows.

Sea Harrier to debut at Vectren Dayton Air Show
P-51 Quick Silver...Gene Soucy...A-4B Skyhawk also announced
Dayton, Ohio – Unique and star-studded are just some of the words that could be used to describe four performers added to the 2012 Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger lineup. The 38th annual show headlining the US Navy Blue 
Angels will be held on July 7th and 8th at the Dayton International Airport.
Appearing for the first time in Dayton will be the renowned British Sea Harrier, a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. Operated for many years by Britain’s Royal Navy, the Sea Harrier became famous for its service during the Falklands War. Lifting like a helicopter, hovering in mid-air and then flying at nearly the speed of sound, the Sea Harrier is a unique and an incredible example of aviation technology. Nicknamed the jump jet, the Sea Harrier will astound spectators with its amazing capability and is sure to be a crowd favorite. The Sea Harrier performing at Dayton is the only privately owned Harrier in the world. It was acquired from the Royal Navy in 2005 by U.S. citizen, Art Nalls, a retired and decorated Marine Corps pilot. The Sea Harrier has a more powerful engine and is faster than the Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier that has performed at Dayton in the past.
Making its inaugural appearance in Dayton is the beautifully restored P-51 Mustang Quick Silver. This is the story of father and son team, Bill and Scott "Scooter" Yoak, who spent 13 years meticulously working side-by-side to make this incredible Mustang a reality. Having a lifelong dream of building a perfect example of a Mustang, a highly-skilled Bill Yoak became very good friends with key people in the California warbird community. Soon Bill became heavily involved in the California movie business and flew outstanding air combat scenes for the television series Baa Baa Black Sheep and feature films. Along the way to his life’s dream of building a Mustang, Bill collected parts from nearly three hundred Mustangs that were lost in action or otherwise crashed. With his metal fabrication skills, Bill was able to make parts needed to the exact specs of the original Mustang. The Yoak’s are certain that Quick Silver is made from parts of Mustangs that were used in every war theater the Mustang was utilized – about 27 countries. Now flown by Scott Yoak, Quick Silver serves as a celebration of our nation's armed forces. This gleaming beauty will be a sight to see in the skies over the Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger.
Last appearing in Dayton in 2005, the award-winning team of Gene Soucy and Teresa Stokes will delight audiences of all ages with their barnstorming wing walking act in the brightly painted Showcat, a highly-modified Grumman bi-plane. Dubbed “Mr. Airshow”, Gene is one of the most-respected pilots in the air show industry; Teresa is an acclaimed aviation and space artist along with being a top stuntwoman-wingwalker. It’s no surprise that this proficient pair have racked up an impressive list of accolades in the air show industry.
Another debut performer, the Warbird Heritage Foundation’s A-4B Skyhawk, will look to many spectators like a modern-day U.S. military jet fighter. The Skyhawk is actually a restored light bomber/attack aircraft used during the Vietnam War. In service for both the Navy and the Marine Corps, the A-4B was flown by notable Vietnam-era pilots, Vice Admiral James Stockdale and LCDR John McCain. It was also flown by the Blue Angels from 1973 to 1986. The Skyhawk appearing at the 2012 Vectren Dayton Air Show is painted to represent aircraft BuNo 148609 flown by LCDR Ted Swartz, who shot down a MIG-17 over North Vietnam with an unguided ZUNI rocket. This was the only air-to-air kill by a Skyhawk during the Vietnam War.
“These are incredible additions to our 2012 lineup,” stated Michael Emoff, Chairman of the United States Air & Trade Show Board of Trustees, producers of the event. “We have an awesome show this year and expect to add even more attractions in the coming weeks,” he added.
Other show features announced in December include TORA TORA TORA, an emotional reenactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor complete with pyrotechnics; Michael Goulian, an acclaimed and high-energy aerobatic performer; and the Misty Blues, the world’s only all-woman skydiving team.
The Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger previously announced that ticket prices will remain unchanged from 2011. The popular Chairman’s Club, LaRosa’s Pavilion, Family 4 Pack, and Blue Sky Chalet tickets are now on sale offering a range of seating amenities.

US Navy Blue Angels in Dayton to discuss 2012 show
Misty Blues features announced
Dayton, Ohio – Today US Navy Blue Angel #7 Lt. Mark Tedrow and #8 LCDR Todd Royles flew to Dayton in a team Boeing F/A-18 Hornet to meet with show officials on the 2012 Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger. The 38th annual show, to be held on July 7th and 8th at the Dayton International Airport, is one of 35 show sites selected by the famed Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron for a 2012 performance.
Last appearing in Dayton in 2010, the Blues have been thrilling audiences for over 60 years. The team flies six powerful Boeing F/A-18 Hornets during their tightly choreographed, high-energy demonstration – sometimes flying as little as 18 inches apart. The 110-member Squadron is led by Blue Angel #1 Captain Greg “Boss” McWherter. Forty-five members of the team will travel to Dayton to stage the show in July. Hosting the Blues while in Dayton is GE Aviation Systems of Vandalia, Ohio.
In a press conference today show officials announced three top civilian feature attractions that will be joining the Blues:
Acclaimed aerobatic pilot Michael Goulian will deliver an edgy, aggressive, all-out performance choreographed to high tech music in his custom-built premier Extra 330SC aircraft. Michael is the recipient of many of the air show industry's highest honors for showmanship. He represented the USA in the prestigious Red Bull Air Race World Championships. Goulian last appeared in Dayton in 2000, and his dynamic performance is sure to thrill show spectators.
TORA TORA TORA will make a return visit to Dayton in 2012 with the emotional reenactment of the December 7, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. This Commemorative Air Force production features eight Japanese replica fighter/bomber aircraft with spectacular pyrotechnics simulating bombing runs. It is truly a living history lesson concluding with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's memorable address to the nation. A crowd favorite, Tora is a phenomenal presentation that will be enjoyed by young and old alike.
Jumping with their massive 40-foot American flag during the National Anthem, members of the Misty Blues All-Woman Skydiving Team will open the 2012 show. The full team will also perform later in the show as a feature attraction. Adorned in their signature pink and blue jump suits, the Misty’s are well-known for their skilled skydiving, fun personality and spending a lot of time meeting spectators – especially kids. These ladies hold 35 world records and have completed a record 40,000 jumps.
“The 2012 show development is going extremely well,” stated Michael Emoff, Chairman of the United States Air & Trade Show Board of Trustees, producers of the event. “We are not only fortunate to have been selected for a Blue Angel performance, but we have also been successful in securing other top attractions as well. What we are announcing today is a great beginning to what will be an awesome lineup. More attractions will be added in the weeks ahead,” he added.
Show officials also commented the 2012 show dates of July 7th and 8th, which are right after the patriotic 4th of July holiday. This will provide spectators with a unique opportunity to meet and thank the men and women of our armed forces during this very special holiday in our nation. In total over 300 active-duty military personnel will be on the show grounds proudly displaying their aircraft and equipment used in defending our nation’s freedom.
The Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger also announced that ticket prices will remain unchanged from 2011. The popular Chairman’s Club, LaRosa’s Pavilion, Family 4 Pack, and Blue Sky Chalet tickets are now on sale offering a range of seating amenities. Tickets can conveniently be purchased through our show website at www.daytonairshow.com. Many of these venues sell-out early, so don’t wait to get your tickets. Looking for a unique holiday gift? Tickets to the Vectren Dayton Air Show make terrific presents for everyone on your list.
Beginning May 21, 2012, deep discount general admission tickets will also be available for purchase at over 100 Kroger stores in the Dayton-Cincinnati region.

The meeting was called by Stephan Brown, the CAF’s chief executive officer, to address concerns of some of the national organization’s 9,000 members. Discussions within the CAF have been heated since a dispute over bylaws for the CAF Airpower Museum lead to the removal of two members of he CAF’s board, or General Staff, and ultimately a lawsuit that resulted in the resignations of seven members of the museum’s board. ...
