Dayton Air Show will feature 14 spectacular acts in 2013
...Thunderbirds cancel due to Sequestration
Dayton, Ohio – The Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger will fly as-planned on June 22nd
and
23rd despite budget cuts announced by the military due to
Congressionally-mandated sequestration. A recent Department of Defense
memorandum confirmed that all military aerial teams will cease public
performances as of April 1, 2013. This includes the USAF Thunderbirds,
who were scheduled to appear at Dayton this year. The Air Show had hoped
that Congress would reach an agreement permitting the military jet
teams to fly, but with the April 1st deadline rapidly approaching, such
an agreement appears unlikely.
This year's show will feature a spectacular lineup of some of the nation’s top attractions. A total of 14 acts will fly each day in the feature show, including: “FIFI”, the only flying B-29 in the world, will create a "Great Wall of Fire" atomic bombing reenactment; there will be both a MiG-17 and an F-86 Sabre flying demonstration; the AeroShell Formation Aerobatic Team will perform; Melissa Pemberton’s Edge 540 flying aerobatics will be on display; Skip Stewart will perform high energy aerobatics; Jane Wicker Wing Walking will risk all; and the "School Time" jet-powered school bus will roar down the runway at 300+mph.
"With such a tremendous lineup of top attractions already in place, we felt it was important to continue the 38-year tradition of Dayton and move forward with the 2013 show," stated Michael Emoff, United States Air and Trade Show Board of Trustees Chairman. "We think spectators will be excited by not only the thrills of these professional acts, but also with the overall quality of this year's show both in the air and on the ground," he added.
In addition to previously planned attractions, Air Show officials announced today the addition of the following new features:
One of the most famed fighters of WWII is the F4U-5N Corsair and Vectren Dayton Air Show spectators will get to witness this unique gull-winged aircraft both in flight as well as on static display. The first U.S. fighter to fly at 400 mph in level flight, the Corsair was designed for aircraft carrier-based service. Called “Whistling Death” for the distinctive sound the engines of the Corsair made in a dive, US Marines referred to the Corsair as their best friend for the excellent air support it provided when troops were pinned down on the ground. Dave Folk will fly the Corsair, which is housed in Greenwood, Mississippi in the winter and Kalamazoo, Michigan in the summer.
The Warbird Heritage Foundation’s A-4B Skyhawk, flown by Paul Wood of Waukegan, IL will return to Dayton after its first appearance in 2012. The Skyhawk was a light bomber/attack aircraft flown by both Vice Admiral James Stockdale and LCDR John McCain (now Senator McCain) during the Vietnam War. The Skyhawk appearing at the 2013 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 entire Vietnam War.
Team Fastrax, a world-class skydiving team located in Middletown, Ohio has also been added to the 2013 Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger lineup. To be considered as a Demo Team member, individuals must first have at least 1,000 jumps and meet stringent professional standards. As a result, Air Show spectators will witness a thrilling collection of precision maneuvers that display the ultimate skill in skydiving. Kicking off the show each day with a 7,500 square foot U.S. flag (the world’s largest), Team Fastrax is sure to leave a lasting impression on Air Show spectators as the team has performed around the world and at high profile venues such as NASCAR, the NFL and MLB.
Along with historic aircraft flying each day, the Vectren Dayton Air Show will present an impressive number of classic aircraft on the ground. Recently added to static display are the Douglas C-54 Skymaster “Spirit of Freedom” and the Consolidated B-24 Liberator “Diamond Lil”. Each of these storied aircraft served at various times for the US military during WWII: the C-54 was made famous in the Berlin Airlift and the B-24 was used in both the European and Pacific theaters. Spectators are sure to enjoy close-up views and tours of these amazing aircraft of yesteryear.
Tickets for the popular Chairman’s Club, Dannon Pavilion, Family 4 Pack, and Blue Sky Chalet are now on sale, offering an attractive range of seating options. Tickets can be conveniently purchased through the show website at www.daytonairshow.com. Many of these venues sell out early, so don’t wait to get your tickets!
Beginning May 13, 2013, deep discount general admission tickets will also be available for purchase at over 100 Kroger stores in the Dayton-Cincinnati region.
The Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger is produced by the United States Air and Trade Show, Inc, a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit Ohio Corporation that relies on sponsorship and community support to offset the cost of producing the event. The Dayton/Montgomery Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates that the show has a $3.2 million annual economic impact on the region.

Founded in 1975, the Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger is one of America’s premier air shows. The Air Show showcases world-class aerobatic champions, military jet demonstrations and entertainment for the whole family celebrating Dayton’s aviation heritage as home of the Wright Brothers, National Museum of the US Air Force and Wright Patterson AFB.
