Aero-News Quote of the Day
“We look forward to the air show every year as a way for us to give back to the members of the community and invite them to enjoy a display of our military proficiency. The MCAS Yuma staff worked tirelessly planning this year’s event, and was incredibly disappointed when we determined it is not possible to execute in 2022. The station relies on the support of the community in order to continue to generate combat power and support warfighting readiness, but we have to always be mindful of our financial situation and responsibilities. We also have to consider what’s best for the mission, and with large numbers of Marines arriving for training around March, we just can’t accept the risk.”
Source: Col. Chuck Dudik, the Commanding Officer of MCAS Yuma, explaining why the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma command officially decided to cancel the Yuma Airshow 2022 in consideration of various constraints related to the global pandemic. The decision to cancel the Yuma Airshow 2022 came after great deliberation.
