Lynchburg Airshow to attract thousands to region
March 22, 2011
The U.S. Navy's elite Blue Angels
are confirmed to delight a crowd at the Lynchburg Regional Airshow set for May
21 and 22, 2011 at the Lynchburg Regional Airport. The Flying Circus Airshow of
Bealton, Virginia will join the Blue Angels and there will be other highlights
such as a vintage fashion show and a vintage car show for the two day air
spectacular.
According to Airshow Director John
D. Barksdale, this is the first time in 29 years that Lynchburg is set to host
a regional airshow and he said similar shows in Virginia locations have drawn
more than 50,000 attendees. Barksdale and other promoters say this airshow
could provide a $5 million boost to the Lynchburg economy and draw thousands of
visitors to the region.
