Air show postponed at Oswego County Airport over funding gaps
Oswego County air show planned for next weekend has been postponed to June due to insufficient financing. Organizers hoped to attract up to 20 000 attendees to raise funds for airport renovations and public interest in flying. Ed Coulter said lack of financial backing meant payment for the show could not be guaranteed. The event would have featured World War I and II aircraft, stunt pilots, and air comedy acts with a two dollar admission for four hours daily. Officials from the FAA had suggested the event to celebrate the national Air and Space Bicentennial. A local committee voted to delay after estimating costs at 12 000 to 13 000 dollars. they could break even only if 7 000 attended, and rain risk plus attendance uncertainty influenced the decision.
