Special Guest Is Medal of Honor Winner Colonel George "Bud"
Day
The roar of vintage warbird engines
return to the Space Coast on March 13 through 15 with the 32nd
annual TICO Warbird Airshow at the Space Center Executive Airport
(TIX) in Titusville, FL. To encourage attendance despite the
present economic conditions, the Valiant Air Command -- the
airshow's sponsor -- is reducing the gate admission fee.
The VAC announced last week that "in recognition of the
hardships that all of us are facing, the ticket price... has been
reduced" from $23 to $20 for adults, and from $18 to $15 for
children. Advance ticket prices remain the same at $18 for adults,
and $13 for children ages 4-12.
VAC Commander Lloyd Morris said, "Even though we are a
non-profit and this is our big fundraiser of the year, we think
it's important to recognize that we are all in this economy
together, and we want as many folks as possible to be able to
experience our airshow."
In addition to the many vintage and modern military aircraft on
display, there will be military re-enactors; flight demonstrations;
formation flying; special events; antique cars on exhibit; Radio
Disney; and special guests, including veteran and Medal of Honor
winner Colonel George "Bud" Day.
Advanced tickets can be purchased at the VAC Warbird Museum
located at the airport and many other locations in the Space Coast
area, which are listed on the VAC website. Gates open at 8:30 am,
and the airshow starts at 1 pm.
