American Heroes Air Show Coming July 12th Print E-mail

The San Fernando Valley ’s largest admission-free aviation event

    Catch the action on the ground and in the air at the admission-free American Heroes Air Show on July 12, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hansen Dam Recreation & Sports Complex, 11480 Foothill Blvd. , Lake View Terrace

   Displays of dozens of military and civilian helicopters used for national defense, homeland security, fire protection, search and rescue, and communications; skydiving, water-drop and tactical aerial demonstrations; an all-day concert in the park; exhibits and family activities; concessions and more.    

   Established in Los Angeles in 1992, the American Heroes Air Show began as a grass-roots community effort to celebrate the dynamic role of helicopters in law enforcement, fire service, search and rescue, homeland security, communications and national defense. Today, this non-profit event is offered in seven major U.S. cities, enabling spectators from coast-to-coast the rare opportunity to view advanced military and civilian helicopters and meet the pilots who fly them. 

   The American Heroes Air Show features non-stop aerial demonstrations and excitement, including:

Helicopter displays, flyovers and tactical demonstrations
Interactive exhibits and hands-on family activities
Public safety and emergency preparedness displays
Helicopter rides
Live local entertainment
Public safety career fair
Concessions

    The  helicopter-only theme allows the organization to reach the heart of the community by staging events at urban parks and recreation centers rather than at less accessible airport locations.  Admission and on-site parking are free.   For more information visit www.heroes-airshow.com.
