Dayton Air Show

The Dayton Air Show plays a multifaceted role in air power advocacy, educating the public, inspiring future generations, and promoting the value of air power in national security. With responsible planning and a focus on both spectacle and substance, air shows can continue to be effective tools for communication and advocacy in the 21st century.


Each year, the Air & Space Forces Association (AFA) Wright Memorial Chapter proudly supports the Dayton Air Show, one of North America’s premier aviation events.

Our chapter hosts a hospitality chalet that provides members, sponsors, and guests with an exceptional viewing experience — complete with food, beverages, and a prime location to enjoy the world-class aerial demonstrations by military and civilian performers.

Beyond the excitement of the show, this gathering serves as an important community engagement and advocacy opportunity, bringing together Air and Space Force personnel, industry partners, and civic leaders to promote understanding of AFA’s mission and the priorities of our Air & Space Forces.
