Air/Space America 88

Encyclopedia : A : AI : AIR : Air/Space America 88

Air/Space America 88 was an aviation exposition and airshow held at San Diego California's Brown Field in late May of 1988. It was planned to be the western hemisphere's answer to the Paris Air Show and would be held every even year when the PAS was in hiatus. It was a mammoth event that attracted exhibitors from all over the world, including a British Airways Concorde and an Antonov An-124. Many aircraft manufacturers brought their latest creations like Boeing's STOL YC-14. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds performed along with the usual aerobatic and demonstration flights.

Air/Space America 88 was a financial failure so there was no Air/Space America 90, etc.
