2015 Offutt Air Show Canceled

Post by Flyingmonster » Mon Jan 19, 2015 6:04 pm

There will be no 2015 airshow at Offutt AFB this year due to funding issues. Base officials announced recently, telling WOWT that the 55th Wing had withdrew a request to host the event after learning that funding had been approved to fix the runway. The work is in front of hangars which typically house airshow performer’s aircraft. Due to this, base officials felt the show and work could not go on at the same time. The work is expected to last until September or October.

The decision was made in late 2014 ,but not announced until recently. Base spokesperson Ryan Hansen said that “if not for the unexpected funding, base officials did expect approval to host the air show.”

The 2015 show was expected to include the USAF Thunderbirds.
