Winston-Salem Air Show - September 21-22
In 1911, crowds gathered for the first Winston-Salem Air Show and gazed in awe as Lincoln Beachey, then the world’s greatest exhibition flyer, who commanded the sky with his signature “loop the loop” act in a rickety wood and canvas biplane. A century later, the Winston-Salem Air Show celebrates more than 100 years of taking to the skies and spectators will be no less amazed at the dazzling lineup of military and civilian aircraft performing feats of aerial daring that even Beachey couldn’t have imagined.
The 2013 air show takes place September 21-22 and provides visitors a great opportunity to get acquainted with the Triad’s rich aviation history at Smith Reynolds Airport in Winston-Salem.
In addition to dynamic aviation displays, there will be lots of family fun events including musical acts, magic shows, jugglers and more. Last year Spiderman and Amelia Earhart strolled the grounds as well as other famous “characters.” The ride-filled Children’s Village will delight younger children, and those who want to experience the thrill of flight can ride on a hot air balloon, or helicopter. At the Winston-Salem Air Show, everyone can hear the call to adventure!
