Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE FORT WAYNE AIR SHOW, INC. (FWAS) WAS CREATED AS A NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY PARTNER TO THE 122ND FIGHTER WING BASE IN FORT WAYNE, INDIANA TO HELP PRODUCE AND SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY'S FIRST FULL-FLEDGED AIR SHOW AND TO FORM A BASE FOR POSSIBLE FUTURE AIR SHOWS. THE 2012 AND FUTURE FORT WAYNE AIR SHOWS ARE ENVISIONED TO HAVE THREE-FOLD PURPOSE: FIRST, TO DEMONSTRATE THE MAJESTY AND POWER OF MILITARY AND GENERAL AVIATION TO THE CITIZENS OF NORTHERN INDIANA; SECOND, TO SHOW COMMUNITY SUPPORT OF THE MILITARY PRESENCE IN FORT WAYNE; AND FINALLY, TO INVITE THE PUBLIC ONTO THE GROUND OF THE 122ND AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, SO THAT THEY MAY APPRECIATE THE BREADTH AND SCOPE OF ITS ACTIVITIES.
TO RECEIVE AND ADMINISTER FUNDS AND ARTICLES TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING GOALS: A. TO PROVIDE WORLD CLASS AIR SHOW EVENTS FOR NORTHEAST INDIANA WITH ZERO MISHAPS/INJURIES. B. TO ENHANCE THE PUBLIC'S UNDERSTANDING OF MILITARY AIR POWER, AVIATION HERITAGE, AND HOW ALL SERVICES WORK TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION. C. TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF AWE AND EXCITEMENT WHILE PROVIDING THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF CONVENIENCE FOR PERFORMERS AND GUESTS (PARKING, RESTROOMS, CONCESSIONS, SEATING OPTIONS, HOSPITALITY). D. TO BOOST MILITARY RECRUITING FOR ALL PARTICIPATING SERVICES. E. TO COLLECT ENOUGH SPONSORSHIPS AND DONATIONS TO COVER ALL AIR SHOW EXPENSES.
THE 2019 AIR SHOW MARKED OUR THIRD SUCCESSFUL AIR SHOW, WITH AN ESTIMATED 50,000 - 60,000 IN ATTENDANCE AT THE FREE-TO-THE-PUBLIC EVENT. BECAUSE OF INCREASED EXPENSES INCURRED AND SUBDUED DONATIONS WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE AN EXPECTED CONTRIBUTION TO THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SHOW IN 2022.
