Air Expo 2008 July 18th, 19th, & 20th.
Cadets and Senior Members from all Washington Wing Squadrons will be working together with the Air Force at this year’s McChord AIR EXPO 2008!
The last air show at McChord AFB was back in 2005!
Since this event is in “our own back yard” McChord Composite Squadron is the host unit.
We will have an encampment (tent city provide by the Air Force) on site and will have room for 150.
We will have access to the dining facility in groups of 25 on a rotating basis for all our meals. Please plan on $5 per meal to be more than safe. McChord Squadron will have a concession stand at our encampment for sodas and snacks after hours.
Check in on Friday, July 18 is scheduled for 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM.
Friday we are scheduled for “face time” with the pilots of the F-15 and F-18 demo teams from 10:00 AM to about 11:00 AM. We will also be part of a “med aero evac” demo.
Immediately following our lunch on Friday we will be providing a passive security detail to support the “Make-A-Wish” foundation during the Air Expo practice session.
We have been invited to the “Hanger Party”! There we will have the opportunity to meet pilots and air crews from all the demo teams including the “Thunderbirds” so bring you autograph books!
Both Saturday and Sunday our work day begins early! We will be supporting the Air Force with assistance in passive crowd control. This will include pedestrian direction assistance in the morning to crowd line perimeter patrol during the air show in the afternoon.
We will have our own static display and recruiting booth at Hanger 2, Cadets will not be tasked to work at static displays unless they can demonstrate knowledge of the aircraft and unless we have enough people to staff perimeter control.
