Daniel Webster College Offers Aircraft Sponsorships For 2005
Aviation Heritage Festival
Imagine the bragging
rights -- "Yeah, that's my P-38 over there." In a real sense, you
can lay such a claim at Daniel Webster College’s 2005
Aviation Heritage Festival (AHF).
The New England event in late September offers a weekend of more
than three dozen legendary and current military aircraft,
distinguished speakers, flyovers and aerobatics displays, historic
aircraft rides, and family fun for all ages September 24 and
25th.
Promising to appeal to all ages and interests, pilots and
aviation enthusiasts alike, the AHF offers an unprecedented lineup
of aircraft from all eras of aviation, including the “Golden
Era,” WW II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Modern Era Military
Aircraft, Experimental aircraft, and modern commercial and general
aviation airplanes.
In addition to ticket sales, the other sources of supporting
this event are airplane sponsorships, which offer unique benefits,
including the opportunity for an airplane ride sometime during the
festival, in addition to two general admission tickets and two
tickets to the opening lobster dinner Friday, September 23.
Sponsors are also noted in the program book and have an
informational sign in front of “their” plane.
Sponsorships help underwrite maintenance, fuel and related
expenses. Daniel Webster College is a non-profit institution and
monies raised go directly to supporting the costs of the
festival.
Aircraft sponsorships are available for the following
aircraft:
- Lockheed P-38 Lightning
- Curtiss P-40 Warhawk
- Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
- P-51 Mustang
- C-54, The Spirit of Freedom/Berlin Airlift
- Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress
- Consolidated B-24J Liberator
- North American B-25 Mitchell
- Supermarine Spitfire
- Chance-Vought Corsair
- McDonnell TA-4 Skyhawk
Promoters of the festival say the appearance of a P-38 Lightning at
an air festival in New England is a first, and is expected to be a
big attraction and draw visitors from around the region.
