Phuket Airshow & Family Picnic ready for takeoff

PHUKET: On behalf of the U.S. Navy League, the organizers, suppliers, sponsors,pilots, cooks, clowns, face painters and the scores of others engaged in presenting the Airshow & Family Picnic at Phuket Airpark this weekend, we at the Phuket Gazette would like to invite you to join us.

Phuket has never seen anything like this. Entry is FREE; the shows are free; the stunts in the sky are spectacular; the beer, great food and easy parking is unlimited; and the reason is right: all net proceeds to genuine charitable projects in Greater Phuket.

The gates open at 10am each day (Saturday and Sunday) and the first 100 people to arrive will participate in a Lucky Draw and the chance to win a FREE airplane ride, free hamburgers, and free face paintings for their kids.

What else is new? Jazz, Blues and Dancing in the Hangar. Two great bands to entertain you from sunset until….?

We hope to see you there – on the ground and even in the air (if you like).

Further details here, and a map here.
