2010 Wings Over Coshocton Air Show

The 2010 Wings Over Coshocton Air Show on September 18 will feature daredevils in the air performing aerobatic stunts, wingwalking and parachuting. The event will be held at the Richard Downing Airport in Coshocton from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and will also feature special tributes honoring our nation's military, both currently serving and those past and fallen.

At 10:30 a.m. the Flags of Honor ceremony will pay tribute to Ohio's military heroes who have been killed in the current conflict. In this powerfully moving ceremony, the names of each person killed are read as a full size American flag is erected for each person. Following the Flags of Honor ceremony, a veteran's tribute will honor all US military veterans and especially those in the audience.
Once the Air Show begins spectators will be amazed by such acts at The Iron Eagle Aerobatics, Dave Dacy & Tony Kazian-The Super Stearman WingWalking Team, The Misty Blues All-woman Skydiving Team, stunt flyer Jim 'Fang' Maroney in his DeHavilland Super Chipmunk, plus many other surprises in the air!
The Air Show will take to the skies from approximately 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Throughout the day, visitors will also enjoy musical entertainment, static displays, food vendors, the popular Kids Zone Fun Area, and bird shows from the Ohio Bird Sanctuary.

Airport Administrator, Bethel Toler, says he's excited about the line-up for this year. "I'm sure visitors will love what we have planned this year," he said. "We are thrilled with the acts this year and even have some surprises in store for the audience."
