AirShow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An airshow is an event at which aviators display their flying skills and the capabilities of their flying machines to the crowd. Airshows without aerobatic displays, with only aircraft displayed parked on the ground, are called static airshows.

Most airshows are held for commercial motives, gaining income from onlookers or from companies hoping to sell aircraft. Others are held on military bases and are mostly paid for by recruiting budgets, and some are held to raise funds for charities. Usually they are arranged at airfields in which case a variety of static aircraft and helicopters might also be on view. Less often shows are held over the sea near coastal cities or resorts. Where space allows, other entertainments and market stalls may add to the attractions on offer.
