Greetings to Our Community Partners and Potential New Partners!
We at the Alaska Air Show Association are proud to support next summer’s Arctic Thunder 2010 air show. As you are well aware, Arctic Thunder provides Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson the opportunity to showcase a wide variety of powerful aerial demonstrations, present aircraft for photo opportunities and tours, and provide an array of entertainment and interest for all ages. Thousands of enthusiastic fans enjoy a weekend of aviation while sharing in American patriotism and pride for our country and military. In order to bring Arctic Thunder to you, we rely on you, our community partners.
With our Air Force partners, we are planning a huge cast of star-studded performers – military aircraft, war birds and civilian performers. We will have one of our Nation’s premiere demonstration team, along with frontline military aircraft going through their paces. We will have world-class civilian performers, who are sure to have crowd pleasing, shocking aerobatic displays. We are also pursuing bringing up war birds and other vintage aircraft that honor the aviation heritage of our nation and Alaska. We have other potential surprises in store.
As a result of the war on terror, Arctic Thunder is being scheduled every other year, and your continued support is needed more than ever before. In return for your support, we pledge to give you the highest marketing visibility before, during, and after this award-winning event.

By becoming an Arctic Thunder Community Partner, you are choosing a wise avenue to promote your products and services to nearly 200,000 enthusiastic fans as well as broadcasting your commitment to our community and our United States Military loudly and clearly.
