“Why host the Air Show?” The reality is that putting
on such an event certainly requires a great deal of
time, planning, and coordination, but the end results
justifies the efforts and the means. It is an opportunity
for us to open our gates, per se, to the Doylestown GA
community and surrounding areas — an opportunity
that allows us to show our appreciation and strengthen
our bond as understanding neighbors and community
partners. Their support to the GA community &
surrounding areas and its people will always come

What does opening the gates to Doylestown
Airport really mean? It means that visitors from the
local community and surrounding areas have an
opportunity to interact with experts — professionals
that take pride in maintaining their aircraft that soar in
the Pennsylvania skies and the tri-state areas. It
means that our guests are able to interact with multiple
civilian and prior military service performers. It gives
family and friends an opportunity to get together and
spend time with the pre/post warriors and GA pilots.
