I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend! I always enjoy spending quality time with friends while eating delicious food straight off the grill, watching fireworks illuminate the sky, and remembering the brave men and women who made it possible for this country to celebrate life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
With patriotic spirits still high, I want to tell all of you about an easy way you can support a Fort Lauderdale event that pays homage to an American pastime that also showcases our wonderful military. The Fort Lauderdale Air Show, which just returned last year after a two year hiatus, has been nominated among 20 mid-air stunt shows for Best Air Show in the nation by USA Today!
Last year’s air show featured an exhilarating trifecta consisting of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, Canadian Forces Snowbirds, and Breitling Jet Team. The show was especially momentous because it was the first civilian air show in North America to feature a flight performance of the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, a 5th Generation fighter jet that supports the US Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Next year’s air show is scheduled for May 6-7, 2017.
The Fort Lauderdale Air Show is currently ranked number one! Show some pride for this wonderful city and air show by voting here until July 18! The top ten winners will be announced July 22.
