New York City, Cocoa Beach to hold 'Air Force Week'

Post by Henk Voortwijs »

US Air Force Chief of Staff Gen Norton Schwartz yesterday announced that
New York City and Cocoa Beach, FL, will host the two "Air Force Weeks" this
year.
This is the fifth year that the service is sponsoring these
festivities, which are meant to celebrate the Air Force and its airmen and connect
more closely with local communities.
New York City will be home to Air Force Week Aug 25-29. The events
will culminate with the two-day Coney Island Air Show featuring the USAF
Thunderbirds aerial demonstration squadron.
Air Force Week at Cocoa Beach, FL, will take place Oct 27-31. As in
New York, this celebration will conclude with the two-day Cocoa Beach Air
Show with performances by the Thunderbirds.
The first-ever Air Force Week was held in St Louis, MO, in August
2006. In 2009, they were held in Hampton Roads, VA, Sacramento, CA, and Salt
Lake City, UT.
