WHAT DO YOU GET?

There are two experience options, both are for SUNDAY 10/2:

  1. THE AIRSHOW CAPITAL CLUB — VIP EXPERIENCE
  2. THE AIRSHOW MATHER CLUB CHALET

✈️ Hang out with us, and fellow FBISACCAAA alumni!
Call it a mixer, in the most exciting environment possible!

✈️ BOTH options offer free parking, tables and chairs, and SHADE!
Scroll down for more details about each option.

✈️ PLUS! EXCITING EXTRA — RAMP TOUR! Get the full airshow story!
With your purchase you have the option to hop on a golf buggy (tour times are TBD), tour the flight-line, see the aircraft, and meet some of the aircrew and military personnel taking part in this magnificent 75th Anniversary event!

UPDATE 8/9: The tour is limited to 25 people for our group (it doesn’t matter which ticket type you opt for). Instructions for how to get on the tour list will be included in the email we send with the purchasing link. If we have a lot of interest we may be able to work out a second tour, but this is not guaranteed.

Curious who will be there? Take a peek at the line-up!


HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • We have reserved a number of tickets at a discount.
  • We mark–up those tickets (they are a little less than the full price tickets on the airshow website) and, by booking through our link, all proceeds will go to support FBISACCAAA programs and operations! It’s a win win! We all get to hang at the airshow, have a GREAT time (in the shade!) and we raise a little cash for doing more good in our community!

Our booking link will go live as follows:

✈️ LIFETIME MEMBERS Thursday 8/11 9am
✈️ Members in Good Standing (current paying members) Monday 8/15 9am
✈️ All Citizens Academy Alumni Graduates Wednesday 8/17 9am

All Airshow tickets can be ordered and printed on your own printer.


The booking portal will close on Labor Day, 9/5. But please keep in mind, 2022 ticket quantities have been significantly reduced (by almost half) to provide ample space for all attendees. As a result, tickets are expected to sell out quickly.

Our limited reserve will disappear fast — so when the link is posted, don’t wait!
