The DAV will once again take to the skies to promote its message of service to disabled veterans when the 2008 season of the DAV Airshow Outreach Program kicks off in March. This year’s season will include 25 shows plus a stop at “the Super Bowl of Airshows” at Oshkosh, Wisc.
Now in its sixth season, the DAV Airshow Outreach program continues to have unprecedented levels of success and effectiveness in carrying the DAV message to local communities around the country. Starting with a primarily East Coast footprint five years ago, the program now reaches out to veterans and the American public at airshows in Texas, Arizona, Maine, Kansas and Nebraska.
Like so many of DAV’s programs, the Airshow Outreach Program is made successful by our members, whose support and volunteerism keep the program flying.
This year’s program will also feature a new trailer-based system to replace the Mobile Service Office dedicated to the program. The trailer will have touch-screen computer systems and other state-of-the-art features geared at providing airshow goers an attractive, efficient experience where they can learn about the DAV’s mission, become a DAV member, learn about volunteer opportunities or make a donation.
Although the schedule is still being reviewed, the season is tentatively scheduled to kick off in mid-March.
