The 188th Fighter Wing has announced the dates and the headliners for the 2008 Fort Smith Regional Air Show.

The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and the U.S. Army Golden Knights will perform on Saturday and Sunday.

The 188th is working on securing additional military demonstration teams, and the 188th FW / Fort Chaffee Community Council's Air Show Committee is selling sponsorships, chalets, and display ads for the official program guide. Funds generated from sales will secure top-notch civilian acts to round out the full schedule.

Two years ago, nearly 250,000 attended the regional air show here in Fort Smith, shattering previous attendance records.

The upcoming event falls on Armed Forces Day (May 17). Fort Smith will serve as representatives of our nation's heartland — in showing how much we appreciate our men and women in uniform, and their families.
