If you like exciting action-packed airshows that give back to the local community you will love the Florida International Airshow in Punta Gorda Florida. Today I am speaking with Denise Dull, President of the airshow who has led a team to help grow into one of the best air shows in the United States. We will discuss the challenges and keys to success in creating, growing, and continuing the legacy of an airshow. UPDATE: In light of the significant impacts of Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene on the community, the organizers have decided to cancel the 43rd Annual Florida International Air Show. The dual hurricanes have caused widespread damage and disruption across the region, making it impractical to proceed with the event.
