Air show returning to Lake Tahoe Airport

The 24th annual Lake in the Sky Air Show at Lake Tahoe Airport is Aug. 24 from 8am-3:30pm.

The Lake in the Sky Air Show has been described as “the best in the west” by one of the Navy’s participants.

This year’s show will include aerobatic performances by several top performers including Bill Cornick, Jon Melby and Spencer Suderman.

A “Pre Flight” Party featuring WWII Triple Ace Bud Anderson and Mig Killers Pete “Viper” Pettigrew and Mike “Wizzard” McCabe will be at the Flight Deck at Lake Tahoe Airport.

The airshow starts with an 8am pancake breakfast offered by the Kiwanis Club, with the opening ceremonies at 9am. Sky divers will open the show. Vintage Warbirds, military static display aircraft, and many more other aircraft will be on display. Home built, experimental, Highway Patrol, Calstar, Civil Air Patrol and other aircraft are also invited to participate.

Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for kids. Free transportation will be provided from the South Y transit center to Lake Tahoe Airport.

On Aug. 25, those 8 to 18 can fly at no cost through the Young Eagles Program. Those interested in participating must sign up with a parent at the air show the day before.
