The 51st Annual AIRSHO is a little over a month away and we couldn't be more excited.
Colonels, it is time to pre-register for AIRSHO! When you arrive in Midland, you just pick up a packet at the Colonel Registration trailer and you are set.
Make sure to check out the Fighter Squadron Chalet and PrimeView this year. Those are the best seats on the flightline! And Colonels have special discounted rates. Have questions about these or a private chalet? Call Gena at (432) 563-1000 or email her at
glinebarger@cafhq.org.
This year's acts include a new act called “Dracula, The Rise of Vacul,” according to a news release, along with the Red Tail Squadron RISE ABOVE traveling exhibit, and other regular attractions including FIFI, the world’s only flying B-29.
