HILL
AIR FORCE BASE — Hill Air Force Base’s biannual air show is set to return
in 2016.
Base
officials announced Wednesday, Dec. 9 the open house and air show, titled
“Warriors Over the Wasatch,” will take place June 25-26.
Hill
spokesman Micah Garbarino said the two-day show is open to the public and will
feature the Air Force’s aerial F-16 demonstration squadron, the Thunderbirds, the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team and several other
aerial demonstrations. No special security clearances are needed to attend
the show.
“We're
excited to host the Thunderbirds and Golden Knights in 2016,” said Col. Ron
Jolly, 75th Air Base Wing and Installation commander, in a prepared statement.
“These events are important for our service's recruiting efforts and give us
the opportunity to showcase the capabilities of our military.”
Hill’s
last air show took place in 2014 and had an operating budget of about $500,000.
The show is typically paid mainly through private donations, but Hill also uses
funds from its Operations and Maintenance Budget. For the 2014
show, Utah lawmakers voted to give the show $100,000 in one-time state
funds.
More
than 500,000 spectators attended the 2014 show.
As
the show date nears, the base’s public affairs office will provide updates on
additional performers and attendance procedures at www.hill.af.mil/warriorsoverthewasatch/.
We hope to see you all there!
Thanks so much,
