PORTSMOUTH (May 25, 2011) – Service Credit Union Boston-Portsmouth Air Show will bring an elite lineup of air demonstration performers to the Seacoast August 13th and 14th.
Headlining the show will be the United States Air Force Thunderbirds with their breathtaking display of speed, skill, power and precision. The Thunderbirds are the air demonstration squadron of the U.S. Air Force, based at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada. The squadron tours the United States and much of the world, performing aerobatic formation and solo flying in specially-marked USAF jet aircraft. They will make their first appearance in the Seacoast in over 20 years.
Joining the Thunderbirds will be the U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team. For more than 44 years the Golden Knights have been wowing audiences at air shows, competitions and most recently, with high profile tandems.
The show also features the USN F/A-18 Super Hornet, the Navy’s premier fighter and attack aircraft in a display of speed and skill; Michael Goulian and Sean D. Tucker, 2008 National Aviation Hall of Fame Inductee who flies backwards, straight down and tail first along with many other elite air acts.
Proceeds from the air show will help support two organizations, Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire and the Daniel Webster Council Boy Scouts of America as well as a multitude of other New Hampshire nonprofit organizations including Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The contribution to the Brain Injury Association will assist the state organization in developing programs to heighten public awareness regarding safety and prevention and to further develop current support and resource programs for survivors and their families of brain injuries.
The Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire is a private, non-profit, family and consumer run organization representing over 5,000 New Hampshire residents with acquired brain disorders and stroke. The BIANH was founded in 1983 by New Hampshire parents seeking to bring home their brain injured children from out of state nursing homes.
The Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America serves more than 16,000 youth throughout New Hampshire with programs that build character, teach citizenship, and encourage physical fitness. Over 5000 adult volunteers support Scouting programs in the state, and local groups contribute hundreds of thousands of “good turn” service hours in their communities annually.
