Visitors will also have the opportunity to take sightseeing flights over Medicine Hat aboard an aircraft operated by Super T Aviation.

Flights cost $35 per person and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Attendees are encouraged to bring cash for admission and sightseeing flights.

Organizers say parking will be available in an on-site dirt lot and advise drivers of low-clearance vehicles to use caution.

Traffic detours and reduced speed zones will be in effect around the airport during the event.

The event is smoke-free and vape-free, and pets are not permitted, except for documented service animals.

There will be food trucks on site both days.

All activities are weather permitting.

The airshow was started by Dave Rozdeba in 2009 and has continued in his memory since he died in 2017.

It last took place in 2024 and runs every second year.
