2009 Kansas City Airshow takes off August 22-23
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Get ready for jets, choppers, skydivers and more at the 2009 Kansas City Airshow August 22-23. A 16-year tradition brings people from around the region to Kansas City’s Wheeler Downtown Airport to enjoy the area’s only aviation event of the year.
The KC Airshow benefits the Mid-America Youth Aviation Association (MAYAA), which awards six scholarships a year to youth interested in pursuing a career in aviation. This year’s college scholarship amount was raised to $2,000 each.

The KC Airshow is MAYAA’s primary fund-raising campaign of the year. Tickets are available now at http://www.kcairshow.com . For a limited time, tickets for adults are $12 each, children under 12 years old are FREE, and active duty military personnel are FREE on Sunday morning.
