ROCKY MOUNTAIN AIRSHOW TAKES OFF IN DENVER THIS WEEKEND

DENVER, Colorado: Building on a proud history of presenting the best in aviation to the region, the Rocky Mountain Airshow is bigger than ever this year featuring not only astounding aerial performances but adding in Hot Air Balloons and expanding our Adventure Zone with aviation focused STEM programs. There is something for all ages at this event. Bring the family and spend the day! Non-stop entertainment in the air and on the ground!

“We are thrilled to bring the most sought after aerobatic performers to Denver this year,” stated Jim Cimiluca, Event Chairman. “Kirby Chambliss is a five-time U.S. National Aerobatic Champion and two time Red Bull Air Race World Champion. We are also proud to be selected by a very exclusive team as one of only 20 events worldwide to host the USAF F-22 Raptor. Performances by other military demo teams have fallen victim to tough budget cuts. It’s very possible this may be the only chance we get to see the world’s air dominance leader perform for us in Denver.”
