Leesburg Airshow Takes to the Sky at Leesburg Executive
Airport
Aerobatic performances and aviation displays to be featured from 11 a.m. to 4
p.m.
Leesburg, VA (September 9, 2022) – The
Leesburg Executive Airport (1001 Sycolin
Road SE) will host the annual Leesburg
Airshow on Saturday, September 24 from 11
a.m. to 4 p.m.
Beginning at 1 p.m., the skies above
Leesburg will come alive with daring
aerobatic performances. We are excited to
welcome back the Commemorative Air Force
and the Flying Circus. The event will also
feature exciting aerobatics from David
Windmiller, Mark Meredith, RJ Gritter, Jerry
Wells, Chef Pitts, Chris Thomas, and Bob Schmidle.
The airshow’s static display area, located on the airport’s tarmac, always features a variety of
modern and antique aircraft. This year, you can step on board a C-47B Skytrain that flew over
the skies of France during WWII. Other tarmac attractions include aviation-related displays,
educational activities and exhibits, an inflatable obstacle course and giant slide for the kids, and
a variety of food and beverage vendors. Craft beer will be available for purchase.
Gates for the airshow will open at 11 a.m. Admission is free. The Town will utilize its new text
alert system during the event. The public is invited to text “PLANE” to 888777 to receive real-
time updates regarding event activities, weather updates, and more.
Event parking will be available at Heritage High School (520 Evergreen Mills Road) and Segra
Field (42095 Loudoun United Drive). Complimentary shuttles will run continuously from 10:45
a.m. until 4:30 p.m. A very limited number of parking spaces at the airport terminal will be
reserved for the disabled community who require accessible parking. A DMV-issued permit
must be displayed to park at the terminal lot if space is available. No other parking or drop-offs
at the airport will be permitted. Wheelchair accessible shuttles and parking are available at the
two satellite parking locations.
This year’s airshow is presented by Toth Financial, a Leesburg based business and longtime
supporter of the Town’s airport. The Leesburg Airshow is also very grateful for support from
Kuhn Jet Center. Airshow coordination and operations are handled by David Schultz Airshows,
LLC. For more details about the performers and the airshow schedule, please visit
