Santa Rosa CA (August 30, 2010) – In spite of the soft economy attendance this year was up 32% over 2009. The reasons for this surge in attendance include outstanding military, civilian and warbird line ups; enhanced advertising and PR campaigns and excellent air show weather.

The air show line up included military flight demonstrations from the U.S. Air Force’s F-15E Strike Eagle, U.S. Navy’s FA-/18 Super Hornet and the Air Force Reserve C-17 “Globemaster III”. The civilian aerobatic lineup included Bill Cornick, Spencer Suderman, Kent Pietsch, Doug Jardin, Vicky Benzing, Brian Sanders and Greg Colyer.  Warbirds included eight P-51 Mustangs, three P-40 Warhawks, three T-28s, four T-6s and a Hawker Sea Fury. Many additional aircraft were on static display. The air show was announced by Danny Clisham, famed Oshkosh and Reno Air Races announcer.
