RESIDENTS and vacationers to Grand Bahama can now mark their calendar for the Grand Bahama Air Show taking place May 19-20 at Taino Beach in Freeport, Grand Bahama.

This is the second year the event is being held.

The family-friendly event is organised by the Ministry of Tourism, in conjunction with Sun ‘n Fun, the second largest aviation show in the United States of America and veteran air boss, John Wayne of John Wayne Air Cavalry, LLC.

Last year, the unique and exciting air show featured some of the most talented and skilled aviation stunt performers in America, and attracted thousands of residents, vacationers, pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and the international media at it inaugural show on the shores at Taino Beach.

The 2017 Grand Bahama Air Show is expected to surpass the incredible success of last year and is touted to be bigger, better, longer and even more exciting.

Those attending can expect to be captivated from start to finish with spectacular aerobatic and low-lying manoeuvres from precise formation flying squads and veteran parachutists, performing daring routines from high-speed, loud roaring aircrafts.

Students between the ages of eight and 17 interested in aviation also will be hosted to a one-day seminar and workshop at the Grand Bahama Airport on May 19 where they can learn more about the aviation industry and career opportunities.
