SMAC309 Florida International Airshow 2023 Day 1



This is day 1 of a two-day airshow whose primary mission is to offer opportunities for attendees to learn more about aviation, space, and military services. Joining me today is Tom Frick and I am sure you will enjoy the diverse interviews of exhibitors, vendors, and performers prompting aviation, space, and military service.

FIAS provides multiple benefits to the community through direct charitable donations and fundraising opportunities for nonprofit and civic groups during the show. FIAS events provide beneficial exposure to the Punta Gorda Airport as a significant local economic asset. Since its conception, the Air Show has distributed over $3 million to southwest Florida working charities.
