Who we are.

Here we are!  One month away from the big day.  I figured this blog would be an easier way to keep everyone up-to-date on what's going on.





My name is Heather Lackey.  My husband, Kelly, Alan Hoover, and Jim Holbrook are the guys responsible for putting together the air show.  It is a huge undertaking for three guys.

Me? I'm just here to help get the word out and offer pearls of wisdom and advice.  (Thank me for the port-a-potties...)  I'll also be serving as the "official" event photographer.  :o)



Some of the major hurdles the planners have had to jump just to get off the ground are:
  • Go before the city of Warsaw and present their plan for approval.
  • Present their plan to the FAA for approval to shut the air space and for the stunt pilots.
  • Obtain insurance for the show.
  • Lots of fundraising.
This show is only possible because of community support.  It is not funded by the city government.  If you, or your company, would be willing to donate, please contact me at warsawairshow@gmail.com.  We are 501(c)3 for your tax purposes.  We'll splash your name everywhere we can!

We are thrilled at the support we have already received!
