Show Me State Airshow Takes Off This Weekend

By Carmelo Turdo

The Show Me State Airshow takes off this weekend at Jefferson City Memorial Airport in central Missouri. This annual community event offers an impressive lineup of activities, both on the ground and in the air, to celebrate the state's aviation heritage. Along with the airshow, there are exhibits honoring veterans, STEM booths, food venders and a children's play area. 

The Aero Experience was on site for media day on Friday, and we are pleased to support and promote this great Midwest Aviation event with this preview:
