The event will host numerous static displays of various mili-tary aircraft and equipment, and a large variety of civilian aircraft displays as well.

OVERVIEW

Date: March 17th 2012Time. 8:30am - 3:00pmADMISSION:General Admission is Free (Private Chalets are available for purchase)

Sponsorship: With tens of millions of spectators attend-ing Air Shows each year, the Airshows industry represents one of the very largest, if not the largest outdoor profes-sional sports in North America. Based on the volume of spectators alone, Air Shows represent a significant mar-keting / sponsorship opportunity for companies at the lo-cal and national level. This opportunity becomes even more attractive when you start looking at the demograph-ics of the audience; well-educated affluent families 53 percent of whom fit within the coveted range of 30 to 50 years of age. Consider adding an Airshow sponsorship to your reper-toire of marketing vehicles by reviewing the tiered pack-ages we have enclosed. If you do not find something that fits your specific marketing objectives, our creative marketing team can work with you to create a customized sponsorship package.

EXPECTED ATTENDANCE55,000

DEMOGRAPHICSThe International Council of Air Shows estimates that over 80 million spectators at-tend Air Shows throughout North America each year, drawing nearly twice the atten-dance figures of NFL football and making it the second most popular spectator sport in North America. At the Airshow specific level, sponsorship remains a competent and cost-effective tool for companies seeking to reach a well-educated family audience in a relatively uncluttered atmosphere.

YUMA’S BESTFREE EVENT

Most people will never experience the sensation of sitting in the cockpit of a modern fighter jet streaking through the sky, or in a stunt plane as it dips and turns in an aerobatics display. Yuma area residents can enjoy the next best thing. They can watch from the ground as these aircraft go through their aerial gyrations overhead and they don’t have to pay the price of admission to watch. Respondents in Yuma’s Best, the Yuma Sun’s annual poll of its reader’s favorite businesses, services and en-tertainment in Yuma County, picked the Yuma Airshow as the Best Free Entertainment event in 2009 and 2010. The Airshow previously won that category in 2007, as well. Hosted annually by the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, the event brings to town the nation’s top military and ci-vilian aviators who dazzle thousands of spectators with their flight demonstrations. Aside from the show going on overhead, the public can go onto the TARMAC and get an up close look at fighter and bomber aircraft that once were or are today part of our nation’s arsenal. Aside from the fact that the show is free, “It’s geared towards the family,” informs Greg McShane, air show coordinator and MCAS airfield operations officer. “It’s a great family event. We like it because it’s an oppor-tunity for the Marine Corps to open up its backyard and welcome in the public,” adding “and at the same time provide a full day of entertainment.”

Greg added, “Credit for much of the show’s success goes to the Yuma-area businesses that help sponsor the event financially. Even during this time of recession, this past year we had a record level of sponsorships.” McShane attributes the Airshow’s popularity to a greater emphasis on changing the acts from year to year so the event stays fresh. “There is no excuse to say, I was there a couple of years ago so I know what it’s all about.”
